Summary:
After trying some tube and non-tube amps, I didn't plan to buy a tube amp because I'm always unsure if the amp is still performing as it should, I finally settled for the Graaf. It's a wonderfull combination with the Avantgarde Uno's!

The fact that the Graaf doesn't have a lot of power is of no imprtance to me: 100 dB sensitivity per Watt on theUno-side!

In combination with the Meridian 588 (also tried Linn, Naim, Marantz)there's a lot of space and a very life-like sound. In other words: FUN.

Strengths:
Very lively, exellent mids&highs

Weaknesses:
At minimum volume-settings there is a audible difference between the channels
