Jolida model 1000 integrated should be checked out. It has the power and can be had inexpensively. Uses 8 el34 tubes. I think those are fine speakers. moving up the Jolida line will get you the 20% increase in power and also the midrange resolution will improve for your acoustic listening. I could also recommend some easier to drive speakers but if I am assembling a system the speakers are the first thing to choose. Phil Brady.
amp/speaker question
I have B&W 805N, Velodyne sub, and Jolida 502B in my bedroom system. These speakers have always sounded too bright with SS. This is my first tube amp and I am amazed at how good they sound with tubes. The problem is the Jolida is just not up to the task of powering these speakers. My dilemma is whether to buy a more powerful tube amp or more efficient speakers. I do not want to spend a ton of dough on a bedroom system, even though I do use it quite a bit. I am pretty sure powerful tube amps are quite expensive, but so are good monitor speakers. If I could bump up the volume about 20 percent and keep the same sound I have now it would be perfect. I listen to a lot of acoustic music. I would like to keep the cost to around 1000.00 used. So, new speakers or amp? Thanks for your help.
