Re: 6550s vs KT90s vs KT 88's in AR D115mk2

I am using the Svetlana 6550C's with the D-70 II, the less powerful version of your amp. Speakers are Vandersteen 3s. I don't have any problems with clipping or volume level in the bass, and my room is quite large, although I rarely play music at super loud levels. Previous tubes were Philips 6550s. Going to the Svetlanas resulted in subjectively better bass levels and dynamics.

You might want to look into adding a Vandersteen subwoofer to address the low-bass clipping problem.
