So my situation is probably a little too specific, but I'll put it out there in case anyone has any advice.
I'm going to be getting a pair of 007mkII's (modded), and need to power them. My plan was to get a Woo Audio Wee and power it with an Emotiva A-100. It's an incredibly cheap solution, but that's kind of what I'm looking for. But I now realize I have an opportunity to buy a DIY Aristaeus(ish; it's very similar) build by none other than Mr. Spritzer himself. The Aristaeus is an absolute bargain, but I know the tonal signature of the amp likely isn't the best pairing with the O2's, while the SS option of the Wee+A100 is likely tonally closer to what I would want. In addition, my plan was to save up and in maybe 6 months to a year to buy a used KGSSHV Carbon. Thing is, I'm not sure what that would mean for either scenario; I live in two different places so to keep one amp at each would be nice, but is definitely not completely necessary. But if I already spent ~$1500 on an Aristaeus, I may be less willing to shill out for the upgrade; though it would compliment the SS Carbon much better than the just inferior Wee combo. And if I ever did get a 009/HE90, the Aristaeus would be nice to have, but I certainly don't count on either of those. And I'm slightly against owning a tube amp because of the worry about burning a house down/needing to replace them (will be used probably 6+ hours a day, every day), but a bargain is a bargain.
So while if anyone has any input on any portion of this it would be appreciated, to put it most simply would be: thoughts on Aristaeus + 007s?
