Best sounding Hybrid Integrated in $2000 range

I also have been using Pathos integrateds with cremora m's for several years. I like the combo very much. I would recommend the Pathos integrated to anyone.

Think you might be doing this a bit backwards, especially if you're considering going the all-tubed route. Some speakers need power to open up fully, so it would be a shame if you went with something like the Rogue CM and end up with speakers it can't fully drive (especially since dynamics seem to be important to you). Personally I'd at least figure out which speakers I was going to buy first, fwiw. Best of luck.

Pathos is very musical and can give a 3-dimensional image.

Pathos Twin Tower's are somewhat rare on the used market, but are worth trying if you have speakers sensitive enough to be driven by 30wpc. Best integrated I have owned.

Pathos Twin tower has more more than 30 wpc normally gives. The sound and stage is for the money stunning!!
