I have decided to splurge for a tube amp to hook up to my acsents. OK, on a bit of a budget. I am looking to spend around $2,000 for a (presumably pre-owned) tube amp. Could be mono blocks or 2 channel. I recently heard Watt Puppies on a VTL tube - think it was 120 watt amp. This was the best sound I had ever heard(!!). My question is: Does anyone have any suggestions re the power capacity that will be needed to drive the ascents? I am looking for that wide, three dimensional sound stage and resolution or clean sound of the individual instruments - not too much to ask for, right?
Alternately, if you have tried a tube-amp with the Ascents and made a mistake - well, I would be happy to hear about what you did wrong (I will be sorry for you at the same time - promise) - so that I may gain your wisdom of what "not to do".
Thanks,
Andy
