Integrated for TAD ME1: Luxman, Accuphase or Soulnote?
+1 for the CODA and used it with the TAD ME-1    
No love for Legacy Audio
I have only heard the Legacy speakers at Audio shows but it has never been good.  
Top Ten Tube PreAmp of all time?
My best preamp to date: Backert Labs Rhythm 1.3   
Timbernation Platform Problems
I had similar issues with them.  
I'm going to buy my first tube amp. I need honest blunt opinions
I owned those speakers a few years back. I tried a few tube amps but the best matchup was a SS Musical Fidelity M6PRX Power Amp. If I were to go with a tube amp I try a Linear Tube Audio ZOTL40.  
Conrad Johnson Classic 120se vs. Linear Tube Audio 40 Reference Amps
I don't have any experience with Conrad Johnson but extensive experience with David Berning and LTA. I have owned several non-OTL tube amps and the clarity and transparency along with the sweet EL34 midrange of my ZOTL40 amp surpasses them all. I ... 
PS Audio Power Plant P3 to P12
After a few years with a P10, I sold it and got a P15. I could easily hear an immediate improvement. Very happy.  
New! Cerious Technologies Lumniscate cables
@tommylion  I do have the Lumniscate PC from the wall to my P-15 power conditioner and from P-15 to preamp, dac, streamer, TT, etc. It sounds great. There is no downside.

Morrow power cables
I owned the top-of-the-line Morrow cables, and they're OK, but since then, I have bought much better cables, including Townshend F-1 Fractals, Ceriuos Technologies Tech, etc. Morrow is not the end-all, just saying.  
Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs)
@yyzsantabarbara  I was never able to hear the AGD Gran Vivace but the Audions were superb. I now have custom modded Altec Lansing 1570B mono blocks.  
Anyone own Linear Tube Audio Amps?
Some folks like old tube amp sound because of the transformer distortion. You will not find such distortion in ZOTL amps. I can say that I have a very early version of the ZOTL40 and have had it upgraded with the latest “plus” mods. Early on there... 
Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k
A Linear Tube Audio ZOTL40 would pair nicely with those speakers but you might have go to the used market.
