I have a pair of Audio Physic Tempo II's, same speaker as the EX minus upgraded tweeter(I am looking for a pair of EX's,they are rare). I tried them with a YBA Integre DT and it was a very bad match, very lean and fatiguing sound. I got rid of the YBA. I am currently using an Electrocompaniet ECI 3 to drive them with great results. Excellent timing and soundstage with a nice,lush, tube-like midrange. I've seen this integrated on audiogon for under a thousand dollars and highly recommend it,it has remote control and balanced inputs and outputs as well.I have been very happy with this combination for the last three years(!) and that's coming from a guy who used to get upgradeitis every other month!!
