Re: Tube amps

The consensus is going to be probably over 100 watts, but I'm very happy with a Golden Tube SE40 (40W) with 1.6s in a comparable space. You'll probably also see the statement that you'll needs lots of power for rock, but the truth is that the only type of music that requires you to really crank up the volume knob is symphonies. There's some roll-off of the highest frequencies but to me that's an advantage. The bass sounds fine to me but I haven't heard Magnepans with megawatt amps. The sound is gorgeous. I'm using an Emotive Erato preamp. If you want rock-club style bass the amp is not really relevant because you'll need a subwoofer anyway.
