looking to go from seperates to intergrated

Your comments are pretty interesting. I much preferred the BAT over Pathos TT and Logos during my testing. I thought the soundstage was much better on the BAT, but this one was a hybrid version.

The TT is a classic amplifier.Match with the correct speakers and you may be in Audiophile heaven ! Also not a "Fashion product" but a long term investment.Has stood the test of time as far as audio equipment goes....a present and future classic..clean and clear sound,its lasting impression.

The Logos...please note that much better results can be achieved by using different tubes.I have tried the following- Electro Harmonix 6922,Siemens CCa's and Ei Elite Goldpins J6D8 (Note: Have to change the pre stage fuse from the standard 1A to a 2.5 A,otherwise this tube blows the fuse as it needs 400mA compared to 300mA of the 6922's)All these tubes are much better sounding than the stock Sovteks.The Ei tubes may not be that long lasting.Using the Ei's at the moment and it has wonderful tone and balance,quite impressed !Siemens CCa,still THE tube...

Unless you really need the extra power,soundwise I think the Cinema X ,for stereo purposes,may equal the Logos in quality of presentation.

Pathos INPOL 2,perhaps the greatest of them all ? This may perhaps be my next amp.....!!!

By the way,I think Pathos and Merlin gel very,very well !!

Oh yes,the styling isnt bad either...actually,gorgeous !

I have had no reliabillity problems,exept the blown fuse,which was my own doing.

It seems to be a preference thing! A friend preferred the Bat hybrid super tube over the TT . I thought they both sounded good but preferred the TT.

I have come full circle on my thought process becoming more indecisive as I go. I like the sound of my Classe DR-9. may be a good pre-amp with by pass processor capability and remote is the way to go, and just loose my LS 2b.
Any coments
Thanks
