Tube amp for Nola Metro ref Gold

Hi
I am thinking of buying some Nola Metro ref gold and i was wondering if a triode tube amp could fit with these speakers.
For example an Ayon Odin wich is 50w

Any ideas ? I often read that Nolas work fine with arc or mac but not so many feedbacks with other tubes amps

Thanks

I run my Metro IIIs with 40wpc of PP KT90s strapped in triode. Room size is 16" x 20". I don't feel the need for any more power, and I do turn it up now and then. Really, because the soundstage is so robust, I don't often feel the need to. I've also connected a number of EL34 amps, 30-40wpc, and was quite happy. I know of one user with Metro IIs that found ultimate happiness with an Ayon Triton, but I believe he has a larger room than mine.

Hi
I am back !

The Metros arrived few months ago and i've just added a Zanden 3000 with a Luxman M800a.
The sound is beautifull with perfect dynamic and bass precision.

I would suggest to anyone looking for a tube amp with its Nola to try a couple Tube preamp with a Class A power amp.

I've tried some KT88, 6C33 and AA62B but none of them did what a Zanden/Luxman can do.

My 2 cents !
