tho a very high SQ amp will cost more Totally agree, same for solid state!Btw, if you own a pair high efficiency speakers, tube amplification can be quite inexpensive.

Most of the tube amp need to has a load on output when it is ON, So add a 150ohm 10W resistor across each the tube amp outputs is a good " insurance " Just connect the resistor to the tube amp speaker output + and - terminals. https://robrobin...

Using a speaker switcher in revert can manually do the switching between AVR and integrated amp, but have to be sure that it won't accidentally push the buttons to A+B on the amp switching side!And most of the tube amp need to has a load on outpu...

I won’t recommend using the AVR as a preamp for 2 channel music, IMO, using a tube integrated amplifier with a speaker switcher like the Niles SAS-1 is a better way to experiencing tube "magic"

I would like to keep my receiver in the chain and add tubes and somehow have some kind of switching. Would like to be able to listen to 2.1 and then push something on my Harmony remote to switch between music and HT set-up without having to touch ...
