I ran a Rogue RP-1 with Mullards and PS Audio S-300. Sounded great for the $s. Ended up getting some Quad speakers so moved the S300 down the line and picked up a Quad Altera stereo A/B to try and pick up some synergy.
Bryston coming out with a new class D offering that really interests me.
I think tube pre and class D amps or A/B make a great combo.
