I have a similar situation. I wanted music in the bedroom, but had furniture and decorating restrictions. I replaced my Dynaudio 70s with VR-4JRs in my main system, and put the Dynaudio 70s in the bedroom. I bought a Jolida 1501RC from Underwood Wally and it works perfectly there. The volume is low, so the bass boost of having the speakers so close to the wall isn't a problem, I have a remote so i don't have to get out of bed (!), and it has a smooth and detailed quality that I like. Wally also suggested Audio Analogue because they have an equally great sound and are unobtrusive. I bought a Jolida 100A from him, so I stuck with the Jolida and am very satisfied. Wally is a great guy to work with. You can call and talk to him personally for suggestions without any pressure to buy. Good luck!
Jolida integrated amp for Thiel 2.3's?
The Thiel 2.3's that have been in my primary system are going into a backup system in the bedroom at my girlfriend's house, about 13 feet wide by 11 feet deep. The speakers will have to go agains the front wall, 6 inches out, right against a dresser on each side, with a low bed directly in front of them no options there. Given the acoustic limitations w/ this placement, plus my emphasis on spending for my primary system, I want reasonably cheap amplification w/ tubes in it. I'm wondering if the Jolida 1501A integrated, which has a tube preamp section, will perform reasonably well w/ my Thiels (they've previously been hooked up to Ayre separates). Otherwise, I'm considering something like the VTL 2.5 preamp w/ an Ayre V-3 amp, or possibly something like a Rogue Tempest II integrated. Cd player would be in the 1K range.
Any feedback on this would be appreciated.
