I have been thinking about a "budget" 2 channel rig and would like to use a tube amp. I was wondering just how much power the amp has to have to drive a nice little set of bookshelf speakers? I have come across a couple small amps but they have 5 watts or less per channel.
Thoughts??
Recommendations??

Thanks all!!

Ordered the VPI Super Platter upgrade for the Scout turntable just as soon as it became available. It was shipped without an appropriate spacer for the spindle, and without installation instructions. While waiting for VPI to ship a spacer have made do in the interim. The upgrade is worth every penny in terms of great sound, though it's cost does not begin and end with this very heavy and slightly larger platter upgrade. The Gingko Cloud platform the turntable was sitting on before the upgrade had to go.

Hi, I am interested in putting together a multi-channel system, and would like some advice on equipment choices.

I want a good system, but I don't want to spend an absolute fortune, and would be happy to buy second-hand.

The system I am thinking about is a Krell Standard SACD and a Linar Model 10 integrated.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this combo, and other suggestions for source and/or amplifier.

Is anyone interested in selling either of the above?

Thanks & regards, Strongarm
