Thanks for the suggestions..I have considered many of the speakers mentioned. I run a tad 150 sig preamp and have a tad 60 tube amp and a sonographe sa 250 ss, so I can go either way to see which is best. My room is very small . about 10x12 so I h...

Pre-amp, integrated, new power amp...I'm confused
Just want to add another possibility..I would't add a preamp to this mix...I would look into a good tube integrated, ie primaluna prologue 2 or TAD 60 which i have at the present time...This is an extremely well made single input integrated or can...

What speakers to use with Sophia Baby?
