Suggest a tube integrated for me . .

How big is your room? What kind of music do you listen to? Do you need a phono stage built in? Is a remote a must have?

My listenig room is 22 x 16. I listen to a wide varitey of music, blues, jazz, R n R. I have a pair of Paradigm studio 60 speakers. No phono stage required.

Audio Research and Conrad Johnson both make great low powered integrated amps. Add a powered sub.

I am using a Prima Luna Prologue Two integrated tube amp ($1345 list) in a 15 X 10 X 8.5 room with Omega Super 3 high efficiency monitors (95 db sensitivity). I am also using a Prima Luna Prologue Five power amp ($1295) in a 25 X 15 X 8.5 room with Acoustic Research 302 large bookshelf/floorstanders (85db sensitivity).

I hadn't owned a tube amp in 34 years (had a Philco tube amp in high school) and I am very impressed with how musical sounding the Prima Lunas are. Plenty of power, excellent sound range, and just plain enjoyable.

They are sold by Upscale Audio .

In your price range [brand new, with warranty]take a look at the SQ-88 from Quest for Sound. It uses KT-88 tubes and has remote volume control. I use it with VSR JR4 speakers, very musical. Steve from Quest is a great person to deal with. Second choice a little less than 2k, would be new Rogue audio integrated. It adds a ss phono input and headphone output.
