System change recommendations

First time to go true hi-end develop an all truly (differentially) balanced system. Get a Raysonic 168 and use the variable XLR tube outs to direct drive your B&K amp.

Speakers are tough. If the room is large enough get a pair of Usher 6311s. It's a 2 way floor stander. Were you to get monitors you would have issues with the stand speaker interface. YOu can biwire them too. My all time fav is Clear Day solid core silver shotgun

Thanks, that clears up the amp questions I have. I saw a Cayin 70t available locally. I also saw a 100 T listed on audiogon. Now that one is listed at 100 watts ultralinear. Now that should be enough power to drive almost any speaker that I might consider, including some planar ones. I really need to get this right on this go round because I can't continue to spend this kind of money, if you know what I mean.

I guess I wanted advice on both amp selection and speaker combo to go with it. I really want to get an integrated amp (tube) and speaker suggestion thatwould work well together. I eventually want to ad an analoge source, but for now I have a tubed SACD plater from Cayin as a digital source. My room is 12 X 14 and I currently own book self speakers from Margules Audio, model SA 1-es. Does that help?

Yes , I think that you will get better recs with the added
info .

I had the Cayin A88T with Reference 3a De Capo i's , pretty decent sound . Got rid of the Cayin due it's being a bear to bias as mentioned above . Moved to a Primaluna Prologue2 , not quite as warm with stock tubes but better on the top end . I too have a tubed CDP .
I auditioned the Cayin on Usher standmount and 2way FS. I felt that they were too much in your face , for my taste .
I also tried VS VR2 and 4jr. , too dark , kind of the opposite of the Ushers .

You are wise to find recs for the combo . It may save you much time , money and aggrevation ! Just keep in mind that what I like may not suit you !

Good luck .
