tube/integrated 2ch beginner


Looking to incorporate some better 2 channel into my system. Was thinking of a Jolida 1501 RC and Jolida jd100 or musical fidelity A3. My current system is primarily ht set up w a yamaha rxv1500 pre/pro and adcom 7607. Great ht sounds but not music friendly. Trying to keep budget around $1000. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The Jolida integrateds are most wonderful sounding components, particularly once you replace the stock tubes. My advice though is to go for an all tube unit, not a hybrid. Look towards the 302B, 801, or 1000 - but, avoid the 502 as it's not very good sounding.

I'm sure others will recommend the Prima Luna amplifiers, as they have been gaining traction of late. So far, I have yet to hear them, but like what I see.
