Re: Tube Power Amp for Gallo Ref 3s

I'm driving mine with SET monoblocks (845 outputs, EL-34 drivers) that the designer/builder rates at 12 wpc, but these are overbuilt, with huge trannies. I have never hit the volume limits in my 18 x 40' room with these wondrous beasts, although I am using a HSU 500 w subwoofer amp on the second voice coils and the SETs were designed to roll off at 42 Hz.

I was told by one of the participants that some of the final pre-production testing of the Ref 3s was done using a custom-designed 10 wpc SS amp, so they will obviously work fine with low-powered amps -- if the amps are good enough.
