Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup

Had a Cronus a number of years back, even with NOS preamp tubes it just sound solid state to me; may have been the KT90s power tubes which it came with at that time .

Maybe consider looking into the lineups of Line Magnetic , Trafomatic and Finale Audio as well.  In my main system the speakers are Daedalus Argo V2s 97db 5ohm flat impedance and drive them easily with either a Line Magnetic 518IA (newer model is 845IA) - 845 power tubes 22wpc , or a Finale Audio 7189Mk2 - EL84M or 7189A power tubes 22wpc (I also at times use a Modwright tube pre and ss power amp)

@ghdprentice   Regarding AR in general, and the I50 specfically it seems like a downside is that you supposedly can't bias these amps yourself and are required to have a tech do the work. That may be fine if you have one in your locale but not optimal if you have to ship the amp every 2000 hours of tube replacement (I50). What has been your experience with this?
