Just my opinion, but B&W's and HIGHLY overrated unless you are into mellow classical/jazz recordings. Much better value from grresearch, vmps, vsa, just to name a few.
and i respect your opinion, as wrong as it is.
And I respect yours as as always.
I do not believe I have ever heard a tube amp before but am considering getting a dk designs mk3 signature soon. If I am a detail freak, am I going to not like tubes?
Start thinking high end solid state, Levinson, Krell, Plinius and I'll bet that you'd like the Portal Panache...
Tube amps are rarely described as detailed, articulate, critical, or accurate.
The closest are pure class A OTL balanced designs. Hard to find.
They also sacrifice some of the very qualities that endear us to tube sound.
