best budget integrated amp for rock n roll music?

The Luxman guy has it right. The LV-103u or even its big brother the LV-105u has massive amounts of reserve in the caps. Solid iron also. These units will crush the above listed and not even miss a step. Don't shy away from the tube front end. It is quick and stable. Good luck.

No question in my mind. The Cambridge audio integrated is good enough to run $15000.00 speakers within its 65 watt rating. I can live with this item happily if nothing else existed. And I really mean it.............Frank

I used Manley Singray (used around $1400) with my Roger LS3/5A and on rock in a medium size room I had plenty of power. The designer of this unit Eva Marie Manley does like rock n roll.

LFD MISTRAL SE ($1,495)...I have heard 'em all and the Mistral is by far the BEST integrated available for under $5,000.

Dear FS Audio,
Please read the thread in Misc Audio titled "A question concerning ethics".Unchecked commercialism at this forum is a serious concern to most of AG's community.
I've heard the Mistral and think it to be a fine product, however your post can only be read as self serving commercialism.If you have some actual helpful advice based on your experience ,please share it. However when you stand to gain monetarily from outlandish, ridiculous tripe as your unrealistic claim for the LFD, you do this site, the product, the companies that supply you and yourself serious damage to credibilty, usefulness and reputation.
Thank you.
Regards,

Ken Lyon
