Mendes Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Tube or SS ? Â And how many watts required? Edited August 18, 2021 by Mendes .
Batty57 Posted August 19, 2021 Author Posted August 19, 2021 Definitely tubes. Speakers are 89db so will need at least 70. 1

Audionerd Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 If your speakers are 89dB you probably don't need "at least 70W" with tubes and the substantial power supplies that usually come with monos. Lots of valve power amps biased for an output around 50W with a large range of possible output tubes will drive most speakers adequately.
thejt Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 How about these?? Â https://simplyhifi.com.au/product/vtl-100-mono-amplifiers-used-1500/
Audionerd Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 The VTLs would be a great choice, with plenty of power at the price.
Batty57 Posted August 20, 2021 Author Posted August 20, 2021 Thanks guys. Point taken Audionerd, it's just that I have been used to 70 - 100 for years now. Don't think the VTL's have a 4 ohm tap. Probably should have mentioned that
