Been wanting one, Ithink they are very cool looking but absolutely no idea what to expect, does anyone know or had eperience with there low power tube amps?

I believe its 12 watts, and I paid $220.. again, no idea if thats good bad or normal

    Yeah, any higher efficient speaker like Klipsch would do or smaller bookies. Don't expect ear shaking volumes out of less efficient speakers though.

    I have solid state amplifiers coming out my ears, I got all the power I need if I want loud. I just bought it because I think they are really cool looking thought it would look nice in my house. I am anxious to hear how it sounds, I know that i shouldnt expect much from 12 watts. I dont know anyone who has anything like it so I have no idea what to expect..

    Looks like a Bottlehead tube amp.
