Usher X719 and tubes


Anyone ever try these with tubes? And how is there overall sound? I will be using my Audio Space Duntonic 3i Int w/EL34.

After reading this, I felt I would add to this. I have just received in the last week, the x-719's. Not from Bill, but another audiogoner. I have just purchased the Jolida 1501rc from Bill. I am currently breaking them in on an Onkyo Sr601 85watt receiver. I can say that over the week so far, the speakers have really opened up to a so so receiver. Now when I get the Jolida hooked up I will post my thoughts. I know this was about tubes, but I thought being about a hybrid would help fellow music lovers.
I tend to agree with nick72 in that the x719 needs alot of power to get them running.I am using a BAT VK60 and it leaves alot to be desired.I wonder if its a mismatch or the x719 are designed to be listen to in a low mode? These speakers however do sound fantastic when paired with a melody int amp set in a small listening room.
I have rw729's and run them with audiovalve challanger 180 monoblocks and achieve great results;these are very similiar to the x719's.
