Best integrated tube amplifier, under $3,000.00. No phono needed. Could be used, too.d
I have owned the Raven Integrated Reflection MK2 tube amp.  Dave Thomson is one of the owners.  The customer service is second to none.  His tubes are rare producing awesome music and he has a price point for every individual.  You owe it to yours... 
Mola Mola Makua and Kartugas or Preamp and Merrill Veritas?

i have had the Lumin A1 and X1.  I loved them so much I got rid of my EMM Lab DAC which was also connected to them.  The user interface is just so easy to use.  I had 10,000 songs on a Synology NAS and I also used Tidal for new music.  If you can ... 
Horn Speaker Recommendations
It has been awhile but I thought I would update everyone on my speaker purchase.  After going through an exhaustive period of research and listening I have decided on Viking Acoustic Grande Voix.  I am custom ordering them in a black main cabinet ... 
Considering Moving to an Integrated, Opinions Appreciated
You should consider Raven integrated tube amps.  Superior sound and Dave Thomson has some of the most special tubes on the world in his arsenal.  Call Dave and at least talk to him 
Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok
I can only speak to the Lumin.  I have owned the D1, A1and now the X1.  I ended up selling my Emm Lab Dac after getting the X1.  I had a Raven Integrated Reflection MK2 amp and SF Amati Tradition Homage speakers.  People who came to my house were ...

What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load

The best speaker for a small room...at any price point.
At one point I had Wilson Audio Duette 2's with a tube amp in a large room and the sound was fantastic.  I can only imagine those speakers in a small room.
