RE: Tube amp that will drive Apogee Scintilla

Well, like most ribbon speakers it is mostly resistive in nature. The crossover will add some reactance but it is of a low order design so that won't be too severe.

I have heard the Scintillas driven just fine in a large room with the Vacuumstate monoblocks that are SPECIFICALLY designed to drive 1 ohm loads. They put out 150 watts into 1 ohm and this is enough to drive the speaker to more than satisfactory levels.
