Nola Boxer speaker - for condo system


I want to set up a decent musical 2 channel system for our second home a two BRN condo in Denver. Keep you sugesstions under $6K total. We are not building a 5.1 or 7.1 HT, but might add sub woffer if it fits.

IMO, a receiver isn't going to do justice to these speakers. Carl (Nola) leans heavily towards tube amplification. Of course, it's a personal decision whether you prefer SS or tubes, but I find there's a deeper/larger soundstage and a distinct lushness that only happens with tube amps. If I were in your shoes, I'd look for a Cary SLI 80. It has 80 watts in ultra-linear mode and 40 watts in Triode mode. I think it would be a perfect match for the Boxers.
