Integrated Tube Amplifier for First Timer?


Hi gang,

Been researching, and need some final direction...Speakers are high efficiency coaxial horns....

Looking to put a toe in the water before I make a bigger investment, so which do you believe would give the best impression of tubes on a budget (under $1,500 new):

Jolida 302RC

Cayin T-50 or equivalent (There's seems to be a number of amplifers that use this Spark chassis under varying name brands)

Other similar?

I would like to keep the power at 30/wpc minimum (large room, listening tastes and habits)...

Thanks!

Don't make the mistake I made with a Jolida 302B in my first venture into tube land. There are better tubed integrateds out there. What I would purchase instead is a Rogue Cronus or CJ CAV50 (previously owned of course). These are much better choices for about the same amount of money.

Consider the Eastern Electric M520. It has 25 wpc and is a great amp with fantastic build quality. They are around $1500 new from Bill O'Connell at Morningstar Audio. I have first hand experience with this amp and Bill is a fantastic guy when it comes to customer service and product value.

Good luck.
