whats better integrated amp. for silverline sr-17

Just taggin this thread as I too would like to know... for some other SA speakers.

I suppose a good question here would be "What is it you aren't getting now that you would want to get with this proposed 'new' int?"

the only two way SA speakers I've heard are these SR15 I got recently here on A'gone. They'll wind up as rears in my new HT/listening room.

Currently I'm playing them off a Odyssey Stratos SE amp (ss). that is a nice combo. The man I got them from was using a Musical Fidelity int, if I'm not mistaken. The preamp I use for it all now, is my Bel Canto DAC 3. Some 'spensive cables, Nirvana SX Ltd. RCA ics, Taipan helix Alpha pc on it, a Voodoo Tesla pc on the amp, and a pair of Synergistic Alpha Quadd x2 non active single ended speaker cables.

the sound overall is impressive enough for me... I've not tried my tube monos or tube preamp on them.

Personally, a nice tube int should do fine with the 17's I think. but Ss sure ain't bad on them either. Imaging is way good, bass is attention getting & suprising. good stands will also help out with bass. Mine sure did. And some real cheap iso nodes/pods from Bright Star added a great deal of focus too.

I'd look at Prima Luna if money was an issue. BAT too makes an int well worth checkihng out. 'Pends on the budget I suppose though.

Perhaps a simple chage in cabling might add that extra dimensionality you seek... but them Sig 10's are pretty good speaker cables, straight up.

Speaking with Alan Y. the other day he made mention of the fact the Boleros were an exte4nsion of the SR17 series... perhaps looking at those systems with Boleros in them or reading the other Boleros reviews could help... I've also heard that the Depth sub from ML work well with Silverlines. (just a thought)
