Time for a new tube system.

Hello everyone,
I bought my tubes stereo system about 15 yrs ago, BW804N, Cary 805 monoblock amps, Cary SLP98P, Rega CD player.
Now I have more time, and would like to buy new tubes system. On the list, BW803 D3, Cary CAD211 FE, bought VPI prime turntable, may keep SLP98P or sell/trade to newest Cary SLP98P.
My room is 13W x 23L x 10H.
Any feedback, please post.
Thanks.

Considering your speakers, maybe consider a hybrid tube amp?

I'd recommend Blue Circle amps.

Here's  a pair of Blue Circle Audio AG-8000 monoblocks for $5,998.

 * Four separate chassis: 2 monaural amplifiers, each with its own separate external power supply.
 * 150 watts into 8 ohms
 * True balanced topology
 * Tube input stage (two 6922's), Blue Circle's new solid state output stage

My dealer has got in touch with me to say that there was a fault with the ZOTL 40 I auditioned, so take my comment above with a grain of salt. Apparently there was a problem with the mono switch causing low power output.

I agree what is said here.  I use to own Mani2 long time ago. Nothing special except deep bass from small box. Better off with Reference 3A decapo!
