WIMBW, I have also found that a good silver ic works well with this combo. Good Luck!

That would sound awesome. If you must go SS, I would go with the Levinson, Sim Audio or Plinius. I think to get the most out of these speakers you need tubes somewhere in the chain. good listening.

I'm sure the BAT integrated would be nice as well. Those are both tube units of course. As for SS. I used the MAC 6900 integrated for 2 years with my JR's and thought it a great match.
