I've heard the Rogue and Jolida integrated amplifiers with Compact 7 and SHL5. If you are tube-centric and like pursuing nos tubes on the internet, either of those makes is just fine, but IMO similar watts from an LFD Mistral, Zero II, III integrated (granted supply is more scarce, but used slot under your $2500) is a path to real simplicity and pleasure without the negatives. fyi - I've owned and enjoy tube and SS systems.
tube integrated for Harbeth under $2500
I am thinking about a foray into tube amplification; never been there before. I will be driving a pair of Harbeth Compact 7es3. I listen to classical, jazz, acoustic, and rock- 80% cd, 20% vinyl. I would like to keep the cost at $2500 or under.
