I just purchased a pair of Zu Audio Omen loudspeakers. My plan is to use them to replace my surround sound system with a higher quality 2 channel setup. I use the system for everyday TV watching, movies, as well as, music. Based on everything I've read, and the high sensitivity (97db) of the speakers, the SE84UFO amp would be good for the job. I've never had a tube amplifier before and have a couple of questions. 1.) Is it practical to use a tube amp for this role? 2.) Am I correct that the pairing of the SE84UFO and the Zu's is good. If not, any other suggestions. 3.) I understand that tube amps run hot, but how hot to ambient temperature of the room? 4.) How long do the tubes last. I know things are variable, but a ballpark hours would be great. Would like to rough out the yearly operating cost. 5.) At first, I will not have a dedicated DAC and will use my Plasma TV (Pioneer KURO) analog out. Will the line level out be correct as input to the amp? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
