IS there anyone who can report getting optimal results our of any mbl speaker using a tube amp in any capacity?
I cannot recall having ever read of such.
My understanding is that mbls classify as inherently tube unfriendly. mbl builds SS amps to run their speakers. That alone is a good indicator.
Personally, unless I'm missing something, as a typical consumer, using a tube amp with mbl speakers is not some place I would want to go.
If you like what they are capable of cookin, they are hard to beat set up properly in the right room with the right amplification (SS).
Tube fanciers look elsewhere I would say.
