Looking for a great integrated that holds resale value with EL-34 sound, about 75-80 WPC with the good qualities of tubes, without sacrificing a S/S sounding Lower end?
Hi, Do yourself a favor and check Rogue Audio. Not sure about model name and specs but have heard it recently side by side to BAT (same dealer) and defenitely more musical and better overall than BAT which is very good. Also less money.
Look at the Audiomat Solfege Reference -used. It's not quite at the power level you asked for and it is a 6550 based amp but I think it competes very well with the other top integrates anywhere near this price. Audiomat has a new model called the Opera which is el-34 based but will be impossible to find used and it retails for around $6k The Audiomat line is relatively unknown here in the US but well worth the effort to get to know.
