Tubes or stick with S/S


Right now I have some Cornwall III's that I am happy with. Driven with an McIntosh MC 7106 that works quit well. I am kicking around the idea of buying a PrimaLuna integrated amp, any suggestions? And replacing the McIntosh.

I went tube integrated around 20 years ago. Very happy with my Melody but if it ever died that PrimaLuna integrated would be my first stop. And, from what I've been able to gather, probably last. Seems to me they have absolutely nailed everything you really need in a good integrated.  
A whole new world awaits- you'll be going through your recording collection hearing things you never knew existed in them.
Tubes are simply more interesting as you can swap 'em out (you eventually have to do that anyway, so that part of "interesting" is built in) to adjust tonal preferences, they look cool...my 7581a tubes have that blue glow fluorescence, their linearity and harmonic "musicality" are what solid state stuff often claims to resemble yet rarely manages to cop the mojo, and a great tube amp actually does reveal stuff you could be missing in your recordings...besides, when friends come around you can bore the crap out of them by showing off your tubes...trust me on that one. Has anyone ever said, "hey man...look at this lovely Class D module?" Maybe somebody has, but who cares?
I have a friend who has the older version of the Cornwalls and I’ve heard them extensively driven by a VTL IT-85 and First Watt J2 (using pre-out from VTL) and we both agreed the J2 sounded much better. Another option if you decide to stay with solid state. He had a Line Magnetic integrated before getting the J2. We both felt the J2 sounded more balanced and less fatiguing especially at higher listening levels, contrary to our expectations.
