| I am down to 2 choices (PP or SET amp?) to run my JBL L100 (alnico) Well, your speakers high efficiency allow lower powered amps, SS or Tubes, I always like that.However, a large woofer needs it's own magnet, and an amp working in it's 'easy' range for proper control. A port, reactive to the woofer, also wants tha... | |

| 2000-2500 USD budget for an integrated amplifier. Do amplifiers sound the same? :) I've never seen or heard one, it seems a high quality choice with modern features you want.Patented technology seems successful.Perhaps the only expected sonic difference would be based on the decision to go with a very high damping factor, effect... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. Consider future system changes. If you limit yourself to choices of high sensitivity/efficient speakers, then, now and/or future, you will be able to use lower power amps successfully. Then your amp choices become many, opportunities for a great d... | |

| can you add tone controls to a primaluna HP integrated amp BEFORE:I advise getting a sound meter and studying how to use it in various locations in your listening area. Then, move your speakers around a bit, keep checking, before adding tone controls. You will be ready, knowing what frequencies you want t... | |
| Preamps... understanding volume... the relationship of strong or stronger signal going from preamp into an amp, and whether the amp can therefore produce more power for low sensitivity speakers (or any) has not been answered.I do not know for sure, but Isuspect the amp cannot produ... |
