Hi Srajan, a friend asked me for some advice. Not knowing what to tell him I suggested that he contact you, but he only speaks Italian so I told him I would do it. This is his present setup: Cessaro Chopin hornspeakers 98.5dB efficiency, Sarath Don Dissanayake's Kama Sutra preamp and Klimo Beltaine 7-watt monoblocks. He wants to change his amplifier. He's looking for tube amplifiers either mono or stereo that can produce from 15 to 20 watts of power. Do you have any suggestions for him? Peter
Hello Peter, I don't know any of his gear except, at best, by name. Salvo Giardina at Audiopointe Italia represents Cessaro and Klimo or at least did. I've been out of tube amps in a very long time. The best I can offer is that in Sicily your friend has a very credible valve electronics specialist: https://www.tektron-italia.com/en/home. He could probably set up a visit to audition some of their amplifiers there; and they'd speak the same language. And Salvo of course also lives in Catania so perhaps that brand really makes the best starting point for his Cessaro horns. Srajan
