Amp for new Meadowlark Krestel 2's ?

Thanks, tubes have made me nervous because of reliablity etc. I read good things about the sound though. Especially Jolida amps which seem to be a bargain. Hmm, the search continues.

HI!

You might also look into the Sound Quest SQ-88 integrated tube amp. The SQ-88 is well built, good looking, 55 watts, and comes with remote volume control. I use mine with Von Schweikert VR-4jr speakers with great success. Works great with the KT-88 tubes. I also tried it with EL-34 tubes but this did not mate as well to the VR-4jr as the KT-88 tubes.

The SQ-88 is sold by Quest for Sound. Do a search of the for sale listings for additional information and pictures.

Thanks for the input. Well, took the plunge and ordered a Jolida 502B. First attempt at tubes, I hope it's worth it. I've read nothing but good things about this amp, so time will tell.

Beernut, give us an update if you can tear yourself away from the music after the new amp settles in.

Timrhu, I sure will. Looking forward to this experiment. Now, I'm wondering how my Marantz DV 9500 will blend.
