as much as we all love tubes, 'stats do better with SS. an odyssey khartago or an adcom 5500 will serve you just fine for those acoustats joe.

Hmmm. I find that VTL MB-450 monoblocks with 600 watts of power supplied by 500 joules of power supply perform quite well with either my former 2+2s or the current Sound Lab U-1s.

I've never had a Khartago to check out. Adcom GFA-535, 545, 555, Hafler DH-200, DH-500 and Crown XLS402 have been tried on my stats. Those are amps I either have now or owned in the past. One buddy brought his Levinson and another brought his Krell KSA. The MKIII's although just marginally powerful enough, sound better than any of the SS amps, at least to me they do..

Tube driven stats! That's for me.

PC: I anticipate the cost of those mono blocks in kit form to be around $1K each. The 60 Watt ones with 2 6550's are ~$500..
