Anyone run a vintage tube amp on/with their SDA-CRS's ? If so please give me a suggestion of a good one to run them with. Was thinking a VT100?

    I've used a couple of Conrad Johnson amps with great success...

    Yes you can, or you should be able to.
    I'm able to run my Aragon 8008bb on my 2.3tl's works wonderful. It has two massive torrid's one for each channel.

    Yes, I saw one just the other day (8008) for sale and I almost jumped. I have the dreadnought all set up already. Was just contemplating other amps. Running an assortment now. A small tube amp ( Chinese modified) 50 wpc that does a very nice job at low volume levels. A Krell KSA 150 that will make the MW jump out of the box if I am not careful and a B&K Reference 2200. They all sound good but I always wanted to try a few mono blocks or a higher wattage tube amp on them.
