The A25 is a very easy speaker to drive. It has a low Zmax and otherwise an almost ruler flat impedance. This makes it work very well with tube or solid state. I have 2 pair and my experience is that every amp I have tried on it sounds good. They are not very efficent though. I tried running them with an SCA-35 (EL84 PP for about 10 watts per channel). Simon and Gafunkel sounded great at low levers, but I thought it was severly underpowered for classical and rock. If I were running tubes I would want a minimum of PP EL34 but KT88 might not be a bad idea.They will sound great with tubes but they also sound great with a nice sand amp in the 60+ watt range.
