Tube AMP or SS

It might be within the product info packet, or on the back of the speakers. I did a search, but the manufacturer is not exactly completely forthcoming with regard to specs. They quote a 6 Ohm nominal impedance but there is no mention of a minimum impedance, and the frequency response is without +/- dB's. They also quote a sensitivity of 91 dB 1 watt/ 1 meter, and the suggested power range is between 40-175 Watts, but don't mention if that is per channel or total per pair.
Based upon the available specs, it would seem that either ss or tubes might work.

get a nice ss integrated with your 1k. i'd go used right here on agon. would start saving for a better pair of front speakers as well. you'll get there eventually.

just mt 2 cents....on sale today for nothin =)

Thanks to everyone on your response. Do you guys know of any DVD to configure your HT to get the most clarity from it? There is and edless configuring of the EQ, but dont know what the heck Im doing, so dont want to change it, might make it worse than better.

Danny, take a look at the Avia test Dvd.

"Watts are watts, and they are calculated the same way", is absolutely true. It is also true that efficient speakers require fewer watts. While these are electronic facts, "watts are watts" is not an "audio fact". For reasons unknown to me, that apparently can not be explained; "tube watts" are bigger stronger and tougher.

With tubes in a push/pull configuration they generally have more current available. I had a Bryston B100sst rated at 180w @4ohms. I now have an Octave V70SE tube integrated rated at 70w @4ohms. The Octave just destroys the Bryston in terms of 'control'. My speakers are Dyn C1 signatures rated at 85db. For solid state the Naim line has great current capabilities for the low watt rating.

That's been my experience so far :)
