which tube mono blocks?


I run electrostatics that are 4Ohm @ 86dB. I currently use 200w Class A SS mono's. Which tube amps should I get to try?

Out of all the amps I have owned or listened, nothing compares to Tube Research Labs GT-400 or GT-800. These amps stand head and shoulder above anything else in terms of transparency, details, delicacy, balance, control, power, liquidity, or any other performance measure.
I wouldn't doubt that, but for $10,000 speakers, it seems a bit unrealistic to go with $140,000 amps even if it might be (remotely)possible to find them for $70k used.
Rodman9...- The Hurricanes surely pack a punch and a sweet one at that. They are a dream match for my Alon's which like a bit of power to shine. Someday I will take the plunge
Gallant diva, hm interesting: I've owned the JA-500, actually preferred the JA 200 for delicacy, used them both with stators, but they do not, for my ears at least, even come close to the performance of the OTLs I own. Just goes to show how tastes are different!
A 1000 pound amp?

I'd have loved to seen the look on the truck drivers face when they told him to drop that one off this morning.

... but at $140K it must come with a motor driven chassis so you can drive it home.
