A friend of mine, whose ears I trust, bought the LFD NCSE (~$7500) and thinks it is fabulous. And he was sold on tubes before that. I haven't heard it yet myself. No remote, if that matters. BTW, he bought it from Gene Rubin, who is great to deal with. Sounds like it could be a good choice for someone who values tone over "slam". I hate that word.
Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system
While waiting for a new speaker delivery, I have some time to start looking for a SS integrated amplifier, and hoping for some recommendations.
The speaker to pair with is Ascend Acoustics Sierra Tower with RAAL tweeter option that is around 91dB efficient, and the room size is 12x18x8. I mostly listen to classical, jazz, female vocal, and the listening level normally is around 85dB, occasionally go up to 90dB.
I originally was looking for class-A integrated amplifier, but now would like to open the possibility to class-A/B as well to see what will be a good match for this new system I am putting together.
TIA
