Best match for Cary SLP98 Preamp


Need help finding a good match of tube monoblock amplifiers for my Cary SLP98 preamplifier, to support a pair of vintage Dahlquist DQ-10's. The DQ-10's are quite power hungry, so I am not sure what how big the amps need to be. Would like to stay vintage. Listening Room is 13' x 14'.

Cary V12 is a good match sonically and visually ... should be enough power in your relatively small room maybe even in triode mode.

Ditto the recommend on the Cary V12 - and you can easily switch from the sweeter triode mode to the more powerful ultralinear operation when you need more oomph. Great match with the SLP98!
A few years ago I had a slp98 experience that reminded me of the 3 bears. An 88r which I tried to like was too small. Then I switched to mb500 that was too big. Before both purchases I tried the V12 and it sounded just right. Unfortunately the first time the V12 was too expensive and because of a move to FL the second time the V12 was too hot. Someday I'd like to put the 98/V12 together in a second system. Most likely I'd be a happy bear.
With the DQ10's I would stay away from tube amplifiers and stick with solid state. Older Classe, Threshold, Krell, McCormick, Aragon, Bryston will all work well with the DQ10 plus the SLP-98 will add a touch of warmth.
