I listen to mostly classical and some acoustic jazz, I would prefer a one box Integrated for space reasons and I think solid state...but I could be talk in to or "auditioned in to" a tube piece. Your thoughtful advice is appreciated.
I would look at Gryphon ( one listed now on the gon ) or MBL 7008 in solid state, Jadis has a stunning line of Integrateds with I beleive the DA60 being the reference model. On a funnier note Bossjay is try to unload a D&K which he considers to be the finest integrated ever created.
I'm the only one around here that mentions Sugden. They have a high end Integrated called the Masterclass. Runs in Class A. I compared alot of amps and this one is superb, especially for the music you prefer. I consider it the Rolls Royce of Integrated amps. Around $5000.
I preferred the YBA Passion top to bottom over the JRDG Concentra II. 100 wholesome tuby SS watts. The Passion is, certainly, not one of your popular integrateds. Maybe it's the $5k +. I love mine....warren :-)
