I think you’ve got a pretty damn fine list and not sure you could go wrong with any of them. I’d only add to the confusion and suggest putting Vitus on your list as well. Or maybe a hybrid like Unison Research Unico where tubes only in the input stage. Best of luck.
Class A or AB Solid State Integrated Amp for Spendor D9's - Coming from Tubes
So I'm looking at getting a solid state Class A or AB integrated amp to go with my Spendor D9's and my Lumin T2. I strictly stream and do not have a turntable setup. I'm coming from my Line Magnetic 805ia which I love (will still keep it around but turn it on for those times where I want to listen to tube and not drain its life on watching TV) but I would still like to find a warmer/sweeter sound rather than a sterile, ultra-analytical sound. Some that I have considered include:
