Joule Electra Vamp- 100 wpc famous LA-100 tube line stage and solid state output with remote control- Awesome! Before you go subwoofing make sure all your components and cables produce accurate deep bass. Deep bass is also a byproduct of a high storage PLC like the Equi=tech or PS Audio.

Definitely the 8150i!!!! tried the combo and the Concerto loves the tightness and neutrality of the 8150i. Trust me !
Why not the matching SF Musica? The walnut faceplate would sure match the matching walnut sides of the Concerto and the Musica is designed to match the Concert series.
I listened to the Concertos paired with the Plinius integrated at a shop and it sounded fantanstic. I did a home demo of the Concertos with My Musical Fidelity 50 watts per channel amp and they did not sound good at all. There was no bass control or bass clarity (one note bass) in our room. I had the same exact problem with the Linn Tukans in a home demo. Again the Tukans were listened to at the shop with the Plinius and sounded fantastic. I feel that the Plinius would be a great match for the Concertos but at $3000.00 there are a lot of other options. I suspect that the Concertos will require a high current amp (not necessarily high wattage) whether it be tube or solid state to perform their best, which does narrow it down considerably. It would be helpful if you would state your budget.
Sorry Neronian. I did not notice how old the thread was. You have probably gone through several sets of speakers and amps since August. So, what are using now, need any suggestions?
