Tube amp to drive MBL 101's


I am looking for some tube amp suggestions to drive the 83db MBL 101's.

First, I doubt speaker dude has personally measured the current output of the VTL, CAT, and VTL side by side.
If he hasn't he should be more accurate in giving advice:
"My listening leads me to believe that..." would be fine.
If he has, I would love to see his results (measurements)posted.

That said, having owned the TRL 400s, VTL 750s, and CAT JL1
LEs (and MBL 101 a and d versions)-CAT JL3s are probably far and away the best amp to use. The MBLs need very tight bass to make the mid bass football driver to blend with a slightly warm(ported)
conventional cone.
My gut tells me trying to use any tube amp with mbl is the proverbial square peg in a round hole, but I could be wrong.

Maybe there is some tube amp that can do it, but at that point, why bother with tubes at all unless one enjoys having to babysit a very complex and expensive rig just to keep it going?

To each his own I suppose if that is the case....

Or I would say, if tubes are your thing, look toward other good speakers that are designed to be tube friendly, not mbl.

I'm sure some tube amp vendors are willing to step up to the challenge, as long as they do not have to pay for the service costs.
