Which Tube integrated for Virgo?


I want to try tube amps on my Virgos, I prefer integrated for simplicity, but are they not as good as seperates in general? Any sugestions are really appreciated.

There really, as far as i am concerned, only 3 intergateds for this speaker, based on one's preference. Cary sli80 sig., Manley Stingray, VAC Avatar. The Cary is my favorite of the group, most musical as well as the most powerful(in ultralinear mode). The Manley is great for making you tap your feet, it really has the "timing" down of individual instruments and the ensemble as a whole(but not the most detailed in an SET kind of way); The VAC does the dance between the 2(Cary, Manley). I haven't heard the Rogue yet, so that could be a poss. the Cary has a remote, headphone, 40 watts triode/80 ultralinear, can switch output tubes (6550,kt88...)killer sex appeal(although nothing touches the MAnley here), and most importantly, is extremely musical!
