Hi everyone, newbie here again..
I just got my new German Maestro GMP 8.35 D Monitors, and I'm very happy with them running from the headphone out on my E-MU 0404 USB DAC/amp.
However, I would like to start getting into the warmth of tube amps. I've read a lot of opinions here on head-fi and I just feel sort of swamped.
The GMP 8.35 D's are low-impedance (35 ohms) so I'm not sure if I can just pick up any tube amp that will work well with these cans.
Can someone recommend me some budget tube amps that might make a good match? Ideally ~$200, although I guess I could go higher if necessary.
Thanks!
edit: By the way, I would still be using my 0404 as a DAC.
