I use 3 power amps with very good results :
- Krell KSA 80 ( solid state 125W in Class A real / channel)
- Esoteric A03 (solid state 77W in class A real / channel)
- 845 push pull monoblocs Cary CAD 211 AR (70W class A / channel)
Of course tubes are far beyong solid state to my taste for voices and acoustic instruments and are a perfect match with the exceptionnal mid woofer of the Stradivari.
For more complex music (pop, rock etc..) solid state in class A is really perfect. That's why I have both, I use the one or the other according to what I'm listening.
