What is the most powerful tube amp made for the home.caldera

I always read about tiny little amps with 8 watts which may be good for solo nose flute recordings, but what if you have a large set of inefficient speakers like 801 Nautilus's or big electrostatics AND you have a large room. AND you like listeing to the 1812 overture (the one with cannon shots?) at realistic levels. What do tube people do about this? Thanks.

Take a look at the Jolida JD3000A monobloc tube amplifiers. These amps are rated at 200 watts per and are available with or without a matching preamp. They can be seen at WWW.RESPONSEAUDIO.COM.
These amps were driving a pair of 81dB speakers at the latest Montreal show with excellent results.

To get this amount of power from another amp, you would need to spend $13k from a Cary system.

Good luck.

I think the champion is VTL Wotan monoblock, 1250W and switchable to 600W triode mode.
