recommendation?

Oops I just realized I posted wrong integrated amp. It is a Musical Fidelity A3. Not the Music Hall.

I'd consider Pass Aleph 3 with Conrad Johnson PV-10 or Cary SLP pre-amps. Alephs work extremely well with 4 ohms.

$2K total.

I am running a Music Hall A3 intergrated now.

Now I have owned a Sansui tube reciever when I was a teenager. And I would like to get that sweet sound once again. But I do like the well balanced controlled sound of a solid state amp in controling the bass little better. But I still would like the sound of tubes. I play guitar and use nothing but tube amps. And it is like night and day in comparison.

But I was curious if the preamp with tubes would open up the sound stage more. If so that would be the direction I want to go.

thanks

The Mini's are PSB's best ever. I really liked them with a class A rated amp (Pass, Threshold, Aragon)

$2K total or for each piece?
