Integrated SET...

I recently replaced my Wilson Watt Puppy 8's with Zu Audio Omen Def Supreme. MUCH more efficient speakers, which leads me to a long time itch to try a single ended tube amp. This is the first time I've had speakers that could actually work with low power.

 

So, what do you recommend in terms of a good SET, preferably integrated and remote (at least for volume)? Budget is pretty flexible, but I would like to stay under $5-6k used

Coincident is interesting but I don’t believe they make an integrated amp…

Their 300b Frankensteins offer no integrated amplifier version. Their Dynamo integrated amplifier is available either as an el34 SEP or Higher cost 300b SET.

Triode labs is the best choice Frank will not give you remote control but the sound is phenomenal it is integrated the ffx model

Cary 300SEI is a great choice. 

Line Magnetic has a couple of good options as well (845ia, 805ia).  845Premium as well, but it's a bit above your budget.

Thanks everyone! I think there's some real options in this string.

 

I do want to stay with an integrated that does have a remote, at least for volume. I have no problem turning it on when I want to listen and change the input manually, but volume is really convenient (and an absolute demand from the wife)
