integrated amp w/ Triangle titus spks?

Any suggestions for a integrated amp to go with my Triangle titus xs speakers? I like the "tube" sound but solid state would be ok also. I'm trying to keep it below $700. I've been thinking about the Jolidas(all tube and hybrids), Musical Fidelity, Creek, Audio Analogue, Antique Sound Labs, Audio Refinement, etc...I live in wonderful Wyoming and there is no local hifi shops, so it is difficult for me to audition equipment. I listen to mostly jazz and rock. Any thoughts or opinions would be great. thanks

Hey Mattman

you might want to try the Audio Analogue. It is a very smooth and laid back sound. It was a little bit too laid back for me and I needed more watts. It is a good intergrated though. I liked it better than the Audio Refinement. You might want to check Audio waves. They will give you a 30 day trail run. If you don't like it, you are only out shipping.

Xmore, the Audio Analogue would be one of my first choices. Did you have the SE version? I was hoping to get by with the standard Puccini but I would want the pre out upgrade I might want to add a sub down the road. I bought my Triangles from Audiowaves, Alan was good to deal with. Thanks

I have the Antals and am using, with great satification, the Copland CTA-402. Granted this is well above your price point. Your $700 is going to be difficult unless you plan to buy used. More difficult if you want tube/hybrid. If you want new, you may want to check out Creek.
