Thanks for the suggestions. I have been doing some reading on the BAT integrated and am intrigued by the idea of the tube pre and ss amp idea. The review that I saw in TAS was positive as it made it sound as though it would not be much of a compromise from separates.
amp/preamp combo for sonus faber cremona auditors
I have just purchased sonus faber cremona auditors and an ayre cx7 cdp, and am interested in opinions on what amp/preamp combination others would recommend. My listening room is 20x20 and my musical tastes run jazz and rock. I have been a solid state guy but am open to tubes as well. My price range would be in the $4000 range and I have no issue buying in the used marketplace. I appreciate your thoughts.
