+1 on the CANOR AI 1.10. Have had the opportunity to listen to it at length with Aerial Acoustics, Revel & Sonus Faber and it's been equally magnificent with each. Those are all pretty different sounding speaker brands with their own signature sonic footprint but the Canor was liquid although highly intricate with each. There are many excellent brands in this $6K+/- space and members have touched on many: Aesthetix, Octave, etc. I'm a big fan of Audiomat, Unison and Manley too. They also have wonderful integrateds at that price point. New/used so many great options. GL!
Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000
Hey guys sorry to ask again but now I'm considering a tube integrated for my vienna acoustics haydn grand, atc scm7 and yamaha ns5000. Want something, rich with forward mids.. something 3d sounding.
So far my top contenders are conrad johnson cav 45s2 and prima luna evo 400. If it doesn't get super hot that would be nice but not mandatory.
Right now I'm using my elekit tu8600 which is a very good amp.. works well with grand haydns but not enough power for ns5k or scm7.
Thanks !
