depending of room and your taste of volume
however , I would go for higher power range of FW amps , with 20-25W/8R/ch

hi zen 😉
My room makes 30m ² it is opened on the rest of the house, I like listened to when the vibrations cross me the plexus😀

so , no eeny weeny FW amps
depending on your DIY skills , you can choose between F6 , F4 (if you have enough potent preamp, F4 not having voltage of his own) , F5 (my least fave , being too righteous ) ,BA3 , Aleph J .......
though , my latest Babelfish J iteration can be good solution too (being cascoded in FE , so higher wattage possible) but you decide is this blatant advertising ...... or friendly advice

Great big delicious speakers = Great big delicious amp.
You came to the right place. Mr. Pass has just the ticket.

Alex, what sort of front end (source/preamp) will you be using?

hi Dennis,
Nothing new! I have a dynaco PAS 3 and a Lenco L75 being changed, a philips cd 204, an audio DAC GD 19MKIII with interfaces and power supply
Thx Cal😉
I have one that is converted via AVA Super Pas III rebuild kit which does good job with F-5 and BA-3, dont know if it has enough beans for F-4. In any case BA-3 pre creams it, and has enough beans.

Dont get me wrong, Super Pas is VERY pleasant, and adds a nice phono section as well...Pearl 2 creams it.

two stage ECC83 (12AX7) with tons of feedback just doesn't cut it ..... it isn't in same league with FW amplification
however you tweak it or hot rod it

Yup, it creams it....
Sounds like BA-3 preamp and Pearl 2 is a winning combination. 🙂
Dennis
Yup.🙂
