[QUOTE="Mars, post: 872345, member: 817"] Hi Burzat I beg to differ from some comments above re: AV application of valve amplifiers. I use valve amplifiers for both audio and AV, and I experience improved clarity on voices/speech in AV. I agree that some valve amplifiers are fragile, and do not like wild driving music at max. But that does not happen with cathode biased amplifiers, especially the Mullard 5-20 type. I manufacture (blatant self promotion) a 35 + 35 watt that you can max all day and night, and I would be surprised if you need to change valves more than once a year. With proper valves (more costly/longer life) you do not need to re-valve for many years. With an amplifier like this, your kids can play all the movies they want, as loud as they want, and at the end of the day, you relax with class A sound from your CD player. [/QUOTE]
