As of today I'm a new member of the Decware site, and, I am very much interested in the ERR speaker.  Future purchase is being considered...but...before I take the plunge, I need your input on which integrated amp to use.

By the way, it has been nearly 33 years since I left the music scene.    Gave my son my entire system (Marantz Rec/Amp, Pioneer (R/R) Garrard TT, Bose Speakers) to use in college.

Now that I am retired...aah yes...I want to dust off the almost 500 LPs I still have in storage.  The only part of a new setup I have in hand (soon) is a pristine Thorens TD-126, Mk III, turntable with less than 100 hours of play.  

I have read endless pages of information on various tubal setups, and am now standing on the fence between 2A3 and EL34 powered amps.  A few facts first...my listening area is 18'x13.5'x8': my choice of music is Jazz, Classical, R&B, Soul, and Easy Listening.  

Therefore, given the ERR's efficiency, my room size, and the fact that I don't listen at very high volume levels, which of the two (2A3 or EL34) is the go-to match-up with the ERR?

Or, is there a better match I have not considered?

Thanks much!!!

Lon, thanks much for your input.  What you recommend is pretty much the direction I am considering. I think the EL34 provides a wee bit more headroom that would come in handy if I chose to move into a larger listening room.  

I have also read, several times, your comments re the ERR and associated gear.  Very helpful, and enlightening.  Keep it coming...noobees like me need all the help we can get.

At least you don't need a license to drive the ERR's.
