best hybrid integrated amp 100wpc or more

I have recently added a pair of Vincent SP-T800 monoblocks (replacing much more expensive all tubed monoblocks) and I am extremely shocked and pleased with these Vincent amps. They have a tubed front end (1x 12AU7, 1x 6922, 2x 6N6) and solid state (200 watts) output. They were also very favorable reviewed (Dec 08 I think) in Absolute Sound by Dick Olsher. I've been playing these for about a month now and they are really wonderful. I'll eventually write a review when I get more listening time on them.

Krisjan,

The thing that puts me off on the Vincent models is that some of them use odd tube types and also, I believe some of them solder the tubes right to the pc board instead of using tube sockets so they can be replaced when they wear out. But I haven't been able to find too much useful information in this area because Vincent's website is not the best for providing such information.

All I know is that I'd be very upset if I unknowingly bought a hybrid amp and found my tubes soldered directly to the board...

Plato,
The SP-T800's tubes are in the usual tube sockets. Check out the Audio Advisor web site - you can see a picture of the interior.
