Warmest solid-state integrated for under $2k

I vote for German-Chinese coproduction Vincent. I guess Vincent should be available in States. There is a hybrid integrated model SV-236, 100Wpc, tubed preamp SS power section. Very nice, smooth passages, outstanding built - veights cca 20kg net - beautiful "red eye" on front panel - (visible iluminated tube inside, rounded window-like glass to watch through).

Bass floorshaking, mids hard to beat for money...

Price? Very, very reasonable. I paid about 1000USD.

The Blue Circle CS in on the warm side and sounds amazing.
Check out some of the reviews. I love the sound of mine.

The Vincent line is available in the states, but not extensively. I know that Audio Unlimited in Denver, CO carries the line and they are high on them considering the price. I have done business with this dealer when I lived in Denver so I can vouch for them. I was not aware they were partly Chinese produced. Explains the excellent looks in line with other Chinese productions.

This amp powers my rm40s in a large room with no trouble, and sounds great doing it. It might replace a pair of 200 watt monos and a SF Line1 pre. You can get a good look at it on the chapter audio site, look for the precis......
