Im interested to know which of Mang Rods creations will best suit my speakers? also are they made-to-order? at what price range? where can I audition his amps?
Reviews of the Planets says its best paired with SET with kt88, and I read SETs are low watt amps of 3~5W so can it drive my speakers???
This is my first audio setup and new to tubes.
With your speakers at 85dB sensitivity,you shouldn't go lower than 150Wpc class AB push pull amp to give your system ample headroom. The truth is that high amplifier power almost never destroys a speaker. In most cases, it is a lack of amplifier power that causes damage. The key is to use your speakers with an amplifier that produces sufficient output to drive the speakers without distortion, or "clipping."
