Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000


Hey guys sorry to ask again but now I'm considering a tube integrated for my vienna acoustics haydn grand, atc scm7 and yamaha ns5000. Want something, rich with forward mids.. something 3d sounding.

So far my top contenders are conrad johnson cav 45s2 and prima luna evo 400.  If it doesn't get super hot that would be nice but not mandatory.

Right now I'm using my elekit tu8600 which is a very good amp.. works well with grand haydns but not enough power for ns5k or scm7.

Thanks !

Someone earlier said that Rogue wouldn't be for you. I couldn't disagree more. I have a Cronus Magnum and it overflows with tubey goodness.

Jadis is a really good option for this sound and makes great integrateds with much better transformers than most

 

@secretguy - I had a Cronus Mganum and will agree with others , to my ears it didn't have the warm, rich , smooth sound the Op is looking for

@twoleftears Googling the ATC - spec state 84db , minimum 50 wpc nominal 8 ohm NS5000 is 88db and HIfi Choice stated minimum 80 watt RMS and nominal 6ohm but drops to 3.5 OHM. They will need some juice

@facten Thanks!.  @smodtactical, you would be well advised to take this into account in making your selection among the many makes and models recommended.
