If you have extra money go for the monoblock quartet.

Good tube integrated for Merlin speakers?
Hi,
Other than the Ars-Sonum integrated, what is the current crop of recommendations to drive a new Merlin MXe?
The Ars-Sonum is a push-pull A/B amp, so I was wondering if a straight SET integrated would work, and/or something strictly class A?
I'm not dismissing the Ars-Sonum (far from it -- synergy is what this game is about), I'm just looking for alternatives (and the Filarmonia has a rather long lead time, so what do I do in the mean time?) ....
I was looking at Audiomat (specifically the Opera Reference or Prelude Reference 20), the Mastersound (300B or 845) amps, Art Audio Jota or Carissa (I think the PX-25 is going to be woefully underpowered but the Concerto might work), and well, I'm not sure.
If possible, I'd like to keep this under $5k (used or new). Oh, and if it has a remote, that's a really nice feature ....
Separates are fine, but a different conversation -- just looking at integrateds right now ...
Thanks for you input!
