No No No No NO to tubes for HT......
You have a the HT speakers... get a good "Ultra 2 amp / pre amp" or one that is really clean at + - 200 wpc at a minimum...
Sunfire, McIntosh..Etc. The good stuff!

I'll have to go along with Roger on this one. I'm a tube fanatic but for HT use stick with SS. I've done the tube HT and it was as dead on HT as SS is for 2ch to me.

Tubes for 2 channel and SS for HT is the way to go IMHO. Opinions will vary!!!

I'm setting up a new HT soon with three KL-650THX speakers up front. I'm currently powering my existing speakers with Tag Mclaren 5x100 multichannel amp. I feel this may not be ideal for the 650's and was wondering what people recommend. An audiophile friend recommends tubes and am inclined to try them. If I decide to try tubes what is a cost effective tube power amp that works well with the Ultra II's? Thanks
