Valve amps to power Shahinian obelisks

[kwmason]

As per the title - I run obelisks but fancy trialling a valve sound through them. Are their any suitable valve amps than have enough power to drive them properly - preferably an integrated amps but could look at separate power / pre

I assume that EAR 509s would. I've long wanted to try them with my Obelisks it time, space and funds preclude it.

I use a VTL st 150 amp. Does a very good job with the Obs2.

Running a graaf gm50b here with Pro ac's had Arc's some time ago and they gelled well...cant see a problem.

Run my Obs2 occasionally with Papworth m100 valve monoblocks (120w) just for fun. They sound incredible - huge soundstage, really deep and powerful bass. The bass might be a bit "ripe" and less controlled, and the mid range a bit "soft" but overall most enjoyable.

Always go back to the Osiris though!
