I tried this (not with tubes) and it's tough to get small. You might consider a Linn Classik all in one system. Not the sound you're looking for, but better WAF. There is also the 47 Labs Gaincard (very small amp with gain controls), but this item alone would break your budget. I sorta gave up on the small system and just got a Rega system for my office. Portable CD players are going to have the smallest footprint. Cyrus makes some nice small stuff, but it's unavailable in the US. As I wasn't looking for tubes I didn't research that market.
Smallest tube system for bed room
Hi everyone,
I'm looking to build myself a small system for my bedroom... I was thinking of going tubes for amp/preamp... My budget is very limited ($2,000-$2,500 for the whole system). Anyone has any recommendation speakers (Sonus Faber Concertino like size), amp/preamp and Cd player?
I was thinking to get a tube integrated amp in order to save space. I'm not looking for a powerfull amp (I guess under 20 watts is more that enough). My WAF doesn't like the idea of getting a system in the bedroom, so I have to get the smallest system possible.
Also, is there a cd player that has a really small footprint?
thanks
