My quest: an integrated with great imaging. Help


My listening room is also my family room, so the WAF dictates that I do a neat installation with the fewest components possible. Currently I'm using a Sim Audio I-5 integrated which seems to be excellent. However, I often wonder if another brand/model will do the 3-D thing even better...imaging is first on my personal list of attributes. Can you suggest an integrated that I should listen to? My requirements include a remote control (volume control would be adequate); it could be tube or solid state. My speakers are Tyler Linbrook Monitors with 90 - 92 dB efficiency and I sit about 10' from each. I usually play classical, pop vocal, show music, nothing harder than Dire Straits at "moderately loud" levels. Thank you.

i would check out the new YBA Passion Integre ($4500). 100 wpc w/ remote. i really like YBA stuff...great quality and great sound. i was very impressed with a YBA 1 amplifier that i demoed. VERY good imaging and pretty deep soundstage. the YBA is the most tubey SS stuff i've heard.

i haven't heard the new YBA integrated yet (it's just out) but i bet it's gonna be nice.
