That's interesting because Ken Stevens of CAT says just the opposite.
Follow Ups:
When asked, they have to come up with a reason for the choices they make and they rarely share the REAL reason with their customers, so...
I have great respect for the source of my info. But then again all I've heard about Ken Stevens including people who knew him, makes me respect him also. It would be cool for the two men to discuss their conclusions.
I don't think there'd be too much disagreement between them. Ken's latest amps are optimized for the 120 because he believes the 120 sounds better, and the 120 is what ships with his amps. He is also quick to point out that his amps deliver excellent results with the 88 too. So, re-reading my OP, I did not intend to make it sound as though he has a dislike of the 88, just that he's found a tube he believes sounds superior.
If I were not locked into my Acoustats and servos setup, I'd be figuring out a way to raid the retirement account for one of his JL series amps ... except then I'd have to figure out what speaker to pair them with.
