which tube mono blocks?

FWIW, my opinion is that seeking a tube amp to drive your low sensitivity, low
impedance speakers will be frustrating and ultimately unsatisfactory.

Stay with Class A solid state, or perhaps one of the new digital amp products,
i.e. Spectron, Jeff Rowland or H20. Frankly with your history as a Clayton
Audio dealer, and considering the stellar reviews of Clayton amps, I find it
intriguing that you are not satisfied with Clayton amps on your speakers.

Otherwise, I agree with the suggestion of changing your speakers to a tube
friendly design if you desire tube amplification.

It's the old "square peg/round hole" paradigm.

Darkmoebius, just for the record, I stated that about **all** amplifiers, tube *or* transistor!

Thanks for setting the record straight, I had a feeling I was getting something wrong.

just want to try something different. VERY happy with the Clayton's.

The best options have been mentioned Atma-Sphere MA2, Wolcotts, big VTLs; all will be costly...Cheers,

Canary Audio CA-160 monoblocks. I am using these to power Piegas, which is no small feat. These are powerful EL34 based amps that should do what you need.
