CorradoBrit Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I'm setting up a new HT soon with three KL-650THX speakers up front. I'm currently powering my existing speakers with Tag Mclaren 5x100 multichannel amp. I feel this may not be ideal for the 650's and was wondering what people recommend. An audiophile friend recommends tubes and am inclined to try them. If I decide to try tubes what is a cost effective tube power amp that works well with the Ultra II's? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 No No No No NO to tubes for HT...... You have a the HT speakers... get a good "Ultra 2 amp / pre amp" or one that is really clean at + - 200 wpc at a minimum... Sunfire, McIntosh..Etc. The good stuff!

I'll have to go along with Roger on this one. I'm a tube fanatic but for HT use stick with SS. I've done the tube HT and it was as dead on HT as SS is for 2ch to me. Tubes for 2 channel and SS for HT is the way to go IMHO. Opinions will vary!!! Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.4knee Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I too would stick with SS HT amplification. Ya might want to consider these. http://nadelectronics.com/products/masters-series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
