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 !

You should check out Trafomatic Audio amps. Very well designed and musically right sounding amps.

Octave is not a lush sounding amp. It has a high amount of odd order harmonics. It allows good control on speakers but takes away richness

Rogue integrated amps are all either ultralinear or hybrid. It doesn't have the lush presentation of their ST-100 which has the triode mode option. Skip rogue if looking for integrated
