looking for the right integrated

i would recommend listening to the yba integra. i have heard it with the joseph rm 22s. i am not a fan of joseph audios, i did own a pair, but they sounded their best with the yba. imo.

Look for an old Luxman integrated with around 100wpc. It will sound very musical and is strong enough to drive the Josephs. Good luck.

I heard these at HES 2001 with Classe CAM 200s. Sounded great. The assumption is that the CAP-151 might be a good match.

want to get involving sound? Go Jolida. Best combo of solid state and tube.

Wombat3 I have no experience with any of your gear, but I'd like to recommend that you audition a Simaudio Moon I-5 integrated. I've owned one for almost a year now, and am very happy.

I would characterize it as being fast, detailed, smooth, and dynamic, with good extension at both ends and a huge soundstage. If your associated equipment leans toward the thin side, it may be a little too neutral for you. But it's a good amp for bringing life to a dull system.

Good luck!
