| Looking for a hybrid integrated to do it all! If you can find a used Peachtree Grand Integrated X1, it ticks off most of your boxes, sort of. It has a tube buffer and is Class D amplification. I like the newer Peachtree Nova 300 better. It has a really good DAC and a decent phono stage and... | |

| Focal 1028Be or JBL L100 classics (your choice) In the smaller space, I'd say the JBL's. I heard them recently in a showroom and was really impressed, and I really like the old school look. I have the Focal 1008BE and they sound great, but the 1028BE might be a bit much in that space. |
