| Magnepan 3a's with two bridged krell 1000wpc 8ohms I had almost 1000 watts with a pair of 1.6's and it is the only time they really opened up and sang. I say go for it! | |

| "Budget" pre tube with SS power amp how much money will you spend on this pre amp? Maybe you should mention the power amp, speaker and what sound/music you like. There is not much tube gear these days that are limited in frequency extremes or have bloated midrange. That is the old s... | |
