Tube amp with KEF Reference 1


Budget is under 5k
i prefer tube sound over solid state hence why I want tubes even though these are difficult to drive loudspeakers 
room is small 13x10
Logical choice to me seems like don Sachs kt88 power amplifier, 65wpc and massive output transformers for good bass (I think)

just wondering what you guys thought

@justanotherhifiguy Sorry cannot help with the tubes question. However, maybe you can give some feedback on how the KEF R1 sound in your small room? Are you doing anything special to manage the bass?
I remembered that the A'gon poster, @axo0oxa had some very interesting comments on KEF Ref 1 and tubes (what he uses). Do a member search and see his post from about a 1 to 2 weeks ago.
