Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
@facten hi! Is it typical of hybrid amps to have the preamp tubes biased; and if so, biased in this manner? In my experience, no, this is fairly unique and one contributor to what makes the A200 sound like it does. Is there an advantage to t... 
Rega Aetheos, Simaudio Moon 340i or NAD M33 for B&W 805s?

Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood?
You might like Horning Hybrid or Wolf von Langa.  
Lamm ML2.2 for Marten Parkers?
I haven't heard the ML2.2 on Marten and can't comment. If helpful, they're a remarkably good match with Wolf von Langa.  
Luxman 509X, 590AXII, or Gryphon Diablo 300 for B&W 802d3
You might like the Circle Labs A200. Hybrid design with a novel topology; NOS Siemens tubes paired with an extremely short signal path yields an amplifier that sounds remarkably close to a triode amp, but just happens to make 100 watts into 8 ohms...

You might find the S.A.Laboratory Thunderbird interesting for that set of criteria and budget. Extremely high quality. Finished in your choice of actual Ferrari paint!     Heads up that I'm a S.A.Lab dealer.  
Suggestions for high efficiency speakers?
I love the Horning Hybrid Zeus and Wolf von Langa SON in that budget range. Profoundly great loudspeakers.

@jjss49 I think it's important to mention the A200 doesn't sound like a traditional hybrid amp; it offers a unique topology with a surprisingly short signal path and has, to my ears, an immediate authenticity that is rare for an amplifier that mak...
