Tubed amps for WP7s

"The 750s aren't the last word in detail but they are the last word in musicality at loud volumes."

It all depends on what your goals are. Do you want to listen at loud volumes or do you want detail? Personally I like the latter and for detail the ML 2.1 IMO is the last word. I must say as well that they can drive my X-2's to ear bleeding SPL at 18wpc

Thanks for your responses. I had the Rowland 302s driving Eidolon Diamonds and thought they were a very synnergistic match -- in fact somewhat tubey. Unfortunately, I sold the Rowland with intentions of going SET. Prior to my Rowland/Eidolon ownership, I had a pair of WP6s driven by Art Audio Jotas and were just wonderful. The Jotas (with VV32 tubes) produced about 22WPC which certainly didn't have the last word in slam but produced such beautiful mids and decent lows and highs.

I actually now have the Air Tight ATM211 which produce 22WPC. I've had them for a week and initially thought that they were grossly underpowered but are now starting to grow on me. They're wonderful amps but perhaps not the best match for the WP7s.

Are those the Air Tights with the EL 34's? If so, I've always wondered what they'd be like with WP's...

No, these have the huge 211 output tubes, and are SET monoblocks. The ones with EL34s I believe are the ATM2s which have push-pull topology.

While the 7s are efficient at 90dbs, the impedance isn't the easiest of loads from what I recall in Stereophile. It falls to 2-3ohms in part. Would be tough to recommend a SET here.

I think the ML1.1s would work better with 90+ watts.
