NAD: 200w tube goodness

My first tube amp, Traynor YBA-200, arrived at my office while I was at lunch. Can't wait to get her home and take her for a spin...

Traynors are very fine amplifiers - I owned two of them back in the 60s and 70s and they never let me down. The thing I remember most about their sound was that they had the perfect amount of tube glassiness to their sound.
 
200 tube watts? Yikes!

What are ya pumping all that into?

Gonna try it with both my Ampeg 810E and my Warwick 411PRO (why are Warwick amps/cabs so underrated?). I'm looking forward to the Ampeg, and I have a feeling that's going to be her main partner.

sure is pretty, but what does it have to do with your nads?

The proof is in the puddin', we'll see if I get that warm fuzzy feeling you know where.
