Amp for new Meadowlark Krestel 2's ?


Have a pair of Krestel 2's on the way. I have had feedback on another thread as to amp matching. I'm using my back up Denon PMA 2000(not all that bad really). It's not a long term answer. Jolida tubes keep popping up. Never tried tubes. I was think integrated-maybe Musical Fidelity, Bryston, McIntosh etc. Any thoughts? Front end is currently Marantz DV 9500.

HI!

You might also look into the Sound Quest SQ-88 integrated tube amp. The SQ-88 is well built, good looking, 55 watts, and comes with remote volume control. I use mine with Von Schweikert VR-4jr speakers with great success. Works great with the KT-88 tubes. I also tried it with EL-34 tubes but this did not mate as well to the VR-4jr as the KT-88 tubes.

The SQ-88 is sold by Quest for Sound. Do a search of the for sale listings for additional information and pictures.
Thanks for the input. Well, took the plunge and ordered a Jolida 502B. First attempt at tubes, I hope it's worth it. I've read nothing but good things about this amp, so time will tell.
Beernut, give us an update if you can tear yourself away from the music after the new amp settles in.
Timrhu, I sure will. Looking forward to this experiment. Now, I'm wondering how my Marantz DV 9500 will blend.
Got the Jolida finally. At first impression I like it, very heavily built. I get an annoying hum though, any ideas?
Thanks
