| Just confused about where to start Amp and speakers have to work together. Consideration needs to be given to an amp that will be powerful enough to drive the speakers to their full potential. So matching is much more important than with headphones. | |

| Inexpensive Tube Amps I agree with @atmasphere , although I bow to his expertise. | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps If YOU are referring to me, I know this is a different OP. Just informing him that I would not trust a cheap Chinese amp in the long run. You get what you pay for. | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps Read the current thread, First Tube Amp. The OP is auditioning a Yaquin, a highly regarded Chinese built tube amp found on Amazon. These seem to be a cut above the mass produced Chinese amps and may be a keeper.Also, sensitivity of the speaker is... |
