| Need integrated for Tyler linbrook Signature I demoed my Jadis OR on the LS's and had no problem getting bass good response. These speakers are definetly tube friendly, provided the amp has high quality trans as does Jadis. That would Cayin. Ck out their many models. Maybe the new Cayin 100,... | |
