    Look at the Jolida in the For Sale section here. Nice little tube amp that I believe should drive those 2B's pretty decent, but check with the tube experts first.

    That Jolida should be a nice piece. It won't last long on the Gon at that price. It was on the top of my list, but SOMEONE wouldn't sell it to me once I got the funds...

    the NERVE of some people!:redface:
