New tubes in the Jolida could make for a lot of fun. I would love to play around with a tube integrated for 2 channel with the 120H. Sure, it's almost the "opposite" of running EQ as you are adding a little distortion. But, I've always found that EQ really works best in the bottom end, and do tend to like a bit of that lushness on the top end.
With so many companies out there now offering the ability to try components and return them you could play around with a few integrateds.
The 120H is a really good, and fun speaker. I wish mine were the walnut finish (I have the dark cherry as they were a killer deal used, even with the clear coat on the top not being perfect). But really a great speaker to have fun with.
I've run mine with bass traps in all 4 corners of the room, and just in the two back corners. EQ'd them each time. I prefer mine with the traps just in the rear corners. I like the extra "thump" I get with no traps behind the speakers. The EQ still keeps it tight.
