The Consonance M10S tube amp sounds very good with the LCD-2's. The amp sells for around $1100. Canadian. It is switchable from triode to ultra linear mode at the flip of a switch. ( the amp needs to be turned off for about 5 mins, prior to switching ) and runs at 12.5 watts in ultra linear, and 8 watts in triode mode. It's an El34 based amp but I'm told you can use KT88's by rebiasing the amp. This is a very smooth sounding amp that's very musical. I actually prefer it to the Yulong A-18 which is also a great match to the LCD2's. I think a lot of the younger crowd may prefer the A18 as its a little more analytical and detailed than the M10S, but the latter is more musical and analog sounding in my opinion.
