I run my 936's with a 31 watt Pass F5. We're talking about speakers here designed to be driven by a voltage source, not a constant power source like a Mc. They want direct coupled solid state power from an amp that doesn't crap it's pants at a 2.5 ohm load. Not too many tubes fill that bill.
beginner seperate system
all the listening I do leads to crazy high prices. anyone out there that can do great high fi on a couple grand budget? I have nad 275bee bridged mono with focal aria 948. I would like to experiment with maybe a tube setup or a really reverby ss if exists. I have a couple rythmik 15 in subs that can do bass. have a few headphone systems that really have opened my eyes on sound. can hifi wonky/tubes be done with subs? and lowest entry point worth the money? would be great to find something under 5k that can play well with aria speakers.
