Help with an integrated amp for Joseph Audio Rm25xl's


My trusted Plinius 8200MkII (which I bought on A'gon used)  finally hit the dust and I need a new integrated amp for the Josephs.  I have a Tube DAC in the system so I don't think I "need" a tubed integrated amp.  My budget is about $1,750. Any help would be much appreciated

Had the opportunity to listen to the same Joseph's with the Manley Stingray a few years ago, for about a month? Sounded very good in full power, but a little lite in triode mode, at 18 watts per channel, in an 15 x 20 room with 10' ceilings. 

I would say 30 watts per channel would be the lowest I would go, unless your room is smaller.

I also used a Bel Canto Integrated at around 300 wpc. It could get a little aggressive in the highs, but very good bass and midrange, with that speaker.

Good Luck!
