The issue of low powered tube amps has been raised and certainly has been my prime concern until I had lengthy talks with Gideon. He knows my amps very well and said it will not be an issue in my room.

Zellaton and LTA with anything but grim Grimm Audio and Great Music
What a perfect way to say goodbye AXPONA 2024. In a pretty simple system consisting of Zellaton Emotion Evo speakers ($44,750/pair), LTA Ultralinear amplification ($7000), and a Grimm Audio MU2 ($17,500) serving as preamp and streaming DAC with a Roon core and analog volume control, we began...

Zellaton at CJ factory with their single ended 25wpc amp
Bottom line is my amp is 32 wpc pure Class A is going nowhere other than staying in my system for the final leg of my journey
The last time I was in Munich the only room I went to 3 separate times was the Zelaton room. With the drivers using the same materials the speakers sounded like a pair of electrostatics with strength. It was impossible in any way to tell it was a multi driver speaker. After listening to endless box speakers at the show, Zellaton was the only standout for me. I am sure The Dr. will enjoy and start the tweaking process. With tubes it will even be more listenable for sure. Congratulations.
Jeff Fischel was effusive about Zellaton when I spoke with him many many years ago...right after he took over CJ. And here we go...he certainly does like them!
I cannot seem to find a complete set of specs on the Zellaton Reference Ultra...It seems many are using with low wattage Class A...
Congrats, Steve! Welcome to the world of drivers of the same material (unmatched in terms of driver-to-driver coherence IME) made primarily of aluminum and designed and built in - house!
Being able to keep your current amps is clearly a major plus, awesome.

How exciting! congratulations Steve! As a Porsche fan beautiful choice on the color. Will be stunning.
Exciting move Steve, they look fab! Looking forwards to hearing more, enjoy!
Congrats Steve. I’ve heard many good things about Zellaton speakers. The color should look amazing in your room. Congrats again.
Definitely not. No need AFAK. I don’t think I’ve seen Zellaton rooms with subs. Perhaps Gideon might comment.
Not necessary Patrick. The bass on these speakers is pretty remarkable. I can’t recall ever seeing Zellaton showing with the aid of subs. Nor do I think owners who are members here employ subs. You’ll come have a listen and youlll decide. You have some preconceived notions
Patrick, in 14 years with ZELLATON I’ve never advised on a sub, as no sub imho can match the speed and articulation of the Podzsus sandwich foam membrane. Further….., the quality of bass in ZELLATON speakers obviates the need for subs.
Fantastic Steve. It isn't at all easy to find an upgrade to a system like yours but I think you've done it. Looking forward to hearing all about it. thanks for the great and informative description of the journey to arrive at the decision.
