Yeah, I try not to get lost in forest of specs, which is easy since I'm an engineer.

W/ this expensive audio hobby, I've learned to let my ears decide. And they've decided that I can hear a difference w/ tubes and it's a difference I like. Colored or not, neutral or not, bright or not, it works for me.

I have tube monoblocks (ASL AV-25's) powering some efficient Von Schweikert VR1's and they sound great. I did run my M22's w/ a Sophia Baby Amp (which is available...) rated at 8W or so, if memory serves me. Sounds VERY good, as long as the room isn't too big. I used my Pio 45TX as the pre-amp.
