| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers Sorry, I thought I'd shared that already. I did call Martin Logan about tube amps, but not specific brands or tube vs solid-state. Their response was very non-committal, probably because they do not want to give a recommendation for specific bra... | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers I like that photo, George! Are you trying to say that I shouldn't rely on the manufacturer's responses? I understand that to some degree, but they are both reputable manufacturers/distributors and thus should know their products and speak the tr... | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers I decided to call Rogue Audio this morning and ask them about their Chronow Magnum III integrated, and how it would do with Summit X speakers. The gentleman I talked with was very knowledgeable and helpful. He said that they have a massive linea... | |

| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers Still listening to them, but here is a quick update:Sanders:No doubt this amp has the power and also is beautiful to listen to.

| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers tomcy6, I definitely will. I've been snowed in, in Oregon for the past five days and unable to get home to hook up the Sanders ESL, but I'm heading there today and will spend the weekend with it. It has lots of power, soit will be interesting to... | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers George, I hate to say it, but I'm really liking the PL HP integrated. But you have me concerned about what I may be missing due to the impedance of my speakers. I actually had a hearing test done recently and I can hear as slow as 133 HZ, and as... | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers The amp now has about 50 hours of break in and I have listened now for about 15 hours. I have to say, it's still amazing. I'm pretty new at this, but I'm not hearing what George is referring to. Not saying he is incorrect, just that I'm thoroug... | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers well, the Primaluna arrived and I set it up last night. It needs about 100 hours to break it in, but of course I couldn't resist and started listening to music right away. Mind you, the Plinius is a great Integrated, but man was I blown away by ... | |

Really looking forward to the test next weekend. Going to play all weekend long! I will update with my thoughts as I play each one, and compare t... | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers Well, not completely. I'm also going to order the Saunders ESL amp and use my Plinius as preamp while I compare the two. I read the article that markusthenaimnut referred me to on their website and it was also very , convincing. In that article... | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers For some unknown reason, I’m focused on tubes. I called Kevin and Upscale Audio and he talked me into ordering a Dialogue HP Integrated which arrives Tuesday. he also offered me $2500 for my Plinius Hautonga integrated, which seems fair. He said a... | |
| Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers Thank you for all your comments. I am definitely a novice here, so please excuse these questions.My listening position is about 8 feet from the speakers. I never listen loudly, and I prefer chamber music jazz, blues, Nora Jones, Diana Krall, and... | |
| Bad case of upgrade fever Thank you everyone! I'm going to look into the power suggestions, and also start a new post regarding a tube amp for my system. I've made the decision to change the Plinius to tube, if I can find the right one. If not, I'll keep the Plinius. I... |
