[QUOTE="desertheat, post: 2247920, member: 557169"] *LOL* hey butt nugget, I am a tube guy as well [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] hahahaha. All good. I am one of the rare ones that like tubes because... #1 they are classic and are more of an art form than other styles of amplifiers or equipment... #2 certian styles of tubes coupled usually to very high efficiency speakers sound quite amazing and can have bass and sexy top end if built / designed correctly. #3, I like projects, older tube amps make very cool and fun projects to restore and are a great conversation item #4 the warm glow gives me a warm and fuzzy hahaha. In car, I run solid state and will only run solid state. In my HT, of course.. solid state... In my future listening room / currently my office you will find a beatiful pair of OTL's coupled to a line array. It is not so much a status or snob thing... but kinda a refined item... Like a fine wine, a perfectly cooked steak or ripping up the mountain corners in any sports car, high end or not.
