I guess I'm too late to the part as well, but I'll also second the recomenndation for either the PrimaLuna, or Line Magnetic, they're both great amps. The LM 501IA is a very versatile amp, with enough oomph to drive lower impedance speakers, like the Magico S1, better so than the Devialet 200 I heard back-to-back, IMO. Hope you share you're experience with the Rogers tho, I've never had the pleasure to hear them in person!
Tube Integrated Amp - Help Please
Recently sold my hybrid Rogue Integrated and am now looking for a used tube integrated. I'm using Verity Audio Tamino X2 speakers - 89db (and told by Verity that these speakers are easy to drive and do well with Tube amplification). I listen to different genres but I love the soulful sound of a female jazz singer and classical music featuring the cello (looking for a warm midrange I suppose). I have a small room 15x14 (ugh) and listen at fairly moderate levels. Other gear includes a Hegel HD25dac and a Clearaudio Concept TT (Dynavector 10x5 cartridge). I'll probably buy a separate phono stage so the new Integrated amp does not have to include phono.
My ear gravitates toward a lush warm sound, nice extended highs and tight bass. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My budget is $4000 and under. Thanks
Considering Rogers EHF-100 MK2 (no local dealers) or Line Magnetic (dealer is about an hour away). If keeping things a little cheaper on the budget, I thought the Sound Antique AQ1001 Mark II DT or the Rogue Cronus Magnum may fit the bill.
