I have the Bryston B100 SST integrated which will be my starting point...and then try others. In the past I have had Maggies and always ended up using a tube pre and transistor power amp.

I just replaced the output tubes in the VT100. Re-set the DC balance, and re-set the bias. It's sounding great. I am always looking at what to upgrade next, but for now the Adagio's are staying. BTW, I am also using a Focal JM Labs SW900 subwoofer.
