| price point to move to separates vs integrated I really dont understand why this "integrated vs. separates" thing seems to be such a conundrum. First, unless we're comparing amplifiers of similar price, of what use is it to talk about additional chassis, power supplies, transformers, etc. Cos... | |

| Oppo 105 or PS Audio PWD Mk2 Dsper - Reading your concerns, I think that the Oppo 105 w/ Modwright mods, as suggested by Charles, is a very strong choice. | |

| Will Push-Pull Triode amp 20-25 WPC work? Springbok, Im using a New Audio Frontiers Supreme 300b Special Edition to drive JM Labs Mini Utopias - very similar to Jonds. I hope youre able to work things out. IMO, 300b tubes in push-pull strike a really nice balance. | |
| Will Push-Pull Triode amp 20-25 WPC work? At up to moderate levels, I agree with those above who advise that it should work. I use a 25W/Ch. 300b amplifier with 91db speakers in a larger room. Your Allison 4 speakers have a very benign impedance. FYI:http://stereonomono.blogspot.com/2012/... | |

| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Aprica, Like Charles1dad, Im interested in the story behind your query - its unusual. Do you have coupons? :-) +1 Charles1dads advise: All things being equal; if its a coin toss; go with the speaker that gives you the widest range of amplifier... | |

| "Last" system puzzle piece - Tube amp option Steven - Its been too many years since I've heard them for me to make meaningful comparisons. BAT has a new statement amplifier called the Rex that might be worth consideration if you youre concerned about power. Going the other way, an amplif... | |
| "Last" system puzzle piece - Tube amp option Steve - For what its worth, I recall also liking the BAT tube monoblocks with the Veritys. | |
| "Last" system puzzle piece - Tube amp option Steven,All of my VPA experience was at a friends audio dealership. When he began to represent Nagra, we hooked the VPAs up to virtually every speaker he had in stock. Besides Verity, these included Sonus Faber, JM Labs Utopia, Avantgarde, Merlin,... | |
| "Last" system puzzle piece - Tube amp option The only speakers that Ive really liked the VPAs paired with were by Verity (Fidelios and Parsifals), so you might have found the right amplifier right off the bat. | |
