which tube mono blocks?

Blindjim and Jtwrace: $140,000 is an insance price for an amp. I can get you the amp at $139,000. Hey, in this tough economy time, every dollar counts.

Try the Thor Audio 60 watt tubed monoblocks. I've seen them for sale for about $5000.00 a pair. They sound great.

I'd see if those Coincident Dragons would work with those speakers and put the rest towards a Porches 911!I'd still walk away with a chunk a change

i just acquired a pair of quad 57. i am looking for a tube amp. although i am considering a dyna stereo 70, i just missed the opportunity to purchase a cj mv 125, which is my first choice.

yesterday i heard an accuphase 50 watt amp, from the late 80's. i would love to audition that amp on my quads.

FWIW: While researching tube amps also research tube types. My VTL's can take 6550's and KT-88. I like having that option. Search the forums there are many that go into great detail about how a particular type/brand sounds.
