I recently bought one of the lower end tube amps found on amazon to power my office speakers. And started to wonder how cool it would be to have a switch www.amazon.com/dp/B00006HOFR/?tag=googhy...f=pd_sl_24pq42vdtt_b

.. to manually go between my 5 channel and 2 channel amp.

What do you guys think of the 400 - 700 dollar tube amps on amazon? They are often rated around 7 - 10 watts a channel and with my experience powering my Audioengine P4 Bamboo they sound really nice. Will they mate well with T5s?
Play it loud.

Hey Eric,
Just hook up the amp to the T5s and give them a spin together. See what you think?
I would do that BEFORE buying that switch which you might not need.
Could be great though. You never know until you try.
Have fun with it,
God Bless,
Wayne

Eric,

What tube amp did you pick up? I'd be interested to hear what you picked up and how it sounds. Thanks.

Cheers,
