Hey guys, I am a little confused.
I was reading about the 6 Million Dollar theater the other day and noticed that he is using all tube amplifiers in his system.
I was under the impression that tube amplifiers are not good to use in a home theater? Not because of the lower amounts of power they tend to put out, but because someone told me when I first started to get into audio that they cannot handle the dynamic swings that occur in movies....
Is this completely wrong?
I have built some bottlehead gear and really enjoy that tube sound but have never thought of using tubes in my main system for the reasons above.
My wife also likes the looks of tube gear as she really enjoys the "steampunky" look about them with the glow of the tubes and such...she even says "now that is a piece I would want to display"
