Excellent ! Thanks. Got the points but is expensive to own extra amp plus pre-amp.On top of that, cables

It seem to me tube amp does not have the tight bass like those solid state amp but from vocal perspective, tube amp is definitely better !
Looks like I have to decide if I should go with tube or solid state amp.

the pre amp may not be necessary but it does require 2 amps , 1 for woofer a class d or ss and another for tweeter (tube on mid/tweeter has smoother sound).

what i believe would please you is a hybrid amp : that is tube(on preamp stage of the amp)+transistor

in my case i already had ss amp so i bought a tube preamp and it seems another good solution , overall sound is more pleasant : more bass and less harsh highs

dont spend crazy money on speaker cable , not worth it.

by the way , where are you from ?
