Ever since I heard Manley lab tube amps at Stereophile Show in 2004 I've been curious about tube amps. However, my taste is speakers seem to be at odds of what tube amps are designed for i.e. high efficiency low drive count units. My speakers are 88db 4ohm Polk Audio LSi 15 driven by a B&K 400watt in the 4Ohm beast. Is tube amp not for me?
It's hard to have hands on research locally, not many dealers carry tube. One of the dealers that carries McIntosh actually discouraged me from going with McIntosh tube amps in favor of solid state. He says that are too much hustle. But at the same time he really pushes turntables, lol!
Would I be better off having a tube preamp with a solid state amp? The only thing I really don't want to introduce a separate preamp into my HT/Music system...
