Wow, thanks for the input so far and to answer some questions asked:
Lloyd - You articulated exactly what I am after with "tonality". I have been reading up as much as possible on SS amps and have never come across a recommendation for bolder, will have to dig into that. Also, would a class A amp be wise while also serving as the HT purpose? (I don't have any experience here in class A)
The pre does not need a phone stage, I have one already.
I guess in a perfect world the pre could double as a HT processor for better integration, but I am not will to compromise on 2 channel for this (not sure this is even feasible with valves).
Winoguy - with your combo any urge to upgrade this part of your system feeding our Dali's?
I would like to keep this under $5k and may likely have go used to realize this, which I am fine with.
Anyone have experience with Cary, say the slp05 with there SS amps?
Again, thanks for the advice so far.....
