IMAGINE WHIRLLED PEAS

Thanks Lon, compliments are always accepted, heh heh. Now, as no surprise to anyone here, the madness never stops. Ok, I'll spill it, I am going to try another amp with the AN speakers. Here is the reasoning: 1 As efficient as these speakers are, these speakers do much better with more power. 2 Why try to force a D amp to do something that another design may inherently posses in the first place? 3 Since cost is a factor (or believe me, a Decware Tori would be my first choice!), I will buy used (budget is $700).
With those things in mind, I stumbled across a Red Wine Audio used amp for $650. The beaming star is that this amp is designed to for use with batteries, AND is not a D amp or the like, but uses a single 6922 tube for the input stage, and FET's for the output. Maybe a compromise that I can consider. These speakers would benefit from tubes all the way, but it's just not in the cards for this second system. Having said all of that, I have also considered selling my Rachel for the sole reason of buying a Tori. I am convinced that the additional power will benefit my ZOB speakers. I'm not looking for more volume, but more headrooom as I am running Rachel close to her rated output.
Thouhgts anyone?
