I've already owned a pair of 988s for years now, and I have them hooked up

toilets mean nothing to me!
My amps, like my flying umbrella toilets with wings, are superior in
every way to the **** you have in your system. Your amps are crap and
couldn't drive a pair of crystal headphones without the transformer
windings popping apart and catching fire. Your amps homosexually
oscillate at a feminine 3K when they are in the company of fat, bald
men. Your turntable plays records backwards, your house is a
laundromat, you weave baskets in your spare time, wear flowery dresses
and sandals and 'Oh, poo!' with your neighbours about the weather, and
your hair is a pile of turds with bows in it.

As my esteemed contribution to this veritable cornucopia of Evil High End
Establishment falderol, let me add the following to this mortifying display of
tube bigotry - LOT'S!!!
For many years, I used to drive a pair of Quad ESL-57's with a vintage toobed
Fishe 400 receiver - 25 watts/channel - 4 7868 Pentodes. Plenty of volume and
good dynamics. Actually, there was even enough power to drive these in
combination with an M&K subwoofer specially designed to be used with original
Quads (called "The Bottom End"), where the Fisher provided the power for the
M&K as well ( run through a passive crossover matrix). Don't know how well the
Fisher would have done with 63's or 988's, however.
Been there, done that. Asked and answered.
If iron knees killed (trademarked creative expression).
