Smallest tube system for bed room


Hi everyone,
I'm looking to build myself a small system for my bedroom... I was thinking of going tubes for amp/preamp... My budget is very limited ($2,000-$2,500 for the whole system). Anyone has any recommendation speakers (Sonus Faber Concertino like size), amp/preamp and Cd player?

I was thinking to get a tube integrated amp in order to save space. I'm not looking for a powerfull amp (I guess under 20 watts is more that enough). My WAF doesn't like the idea of getting a system in the bedroom, so I have to get the smallest system possible.

Also, is there a cd player that has a really small footprint?

thanks

One of the Jolida integrated's might be small enough. You might consider vintage tube stuff also like a Scott 222c. I have a Knight KN724 int.amp and its only 13"X 8"X4.5". It even has an phono stage. If you could find an Optimus cd-3400 portable cd player it even has digital out to run a DAC if you wanted to. Top it off with some PSB Alpha's and you'll have a chunk of change left over to spend on music. Good luck and have fun. PS the Knight is available if interested.
The best thing you could do is get a David Berning MicroZOTL. It is a OTL Tube amp that is designed for bedrooms or office applications. It has a volume control, so you don't need a preamp, but it has only one set of inputs. It has a headphone jack too. The rated output of 1 watt per channel is not indicative of the levels you can get out of this amp. I use mine as my main amp in my living room that is 14x24 with a 16 foot ceiling, and I get as loud as I ever really need within reasonable limits. This amp has the sound quality of amps costing 10 times as much. You simply will not believe the sound.The kicker? It is only $750 direct from Berning. The best $750 you will ever spend. It might end up in your main system afer you hear it. You must use an efficient set of speakers(93db+).
A portable CD player with a line output will not take up much space. That said, most of them stink sonically. I am using the Radio Shack CD3400, which is one of few portables that have a decent line out, but I am feeding its linestage into the analog inputs of an unmodified Art DI/O, converting to digital and then looping back into the DI/O's digital input converting to analog at 24/96. This sounds better than using the Radio Shack's digital output into the DI/O, especially since I am using the tube warmth feature of the DI/O. I would warn that I do not think the CD3400's can be serviced any more, so if you find one, make sure it is in good shape. Only problem I have ever had with mine is the jacks are a little worn.
I bought an Antique Sound Labs MG-SI15DT off 'gon for $450 (retail $700). It's a sweet integrated tube 15WPC. Drives my Edge mini-monitors nicely. There's a 30WPC ASL on 'gon right now asking $400. Check out Divergent's web site for more details.
