I owned WATT/Puppy and now Sasha. You will be in big disanvantage if you will not use highly powerful amplifier. You will have no idea what your speakers are capable of, what magic they can bring to you.
For example, if you want Pass Lab amplification - then certianly not A/B class 150 wpc! Get XA200.5 etc
You like tubes (who isn;t?) - get tube input stage !!!
My "integarted" consists of two fully upgarded Spectron monoblocks and Joule-Electra (first LA-300ME and now heavenly LA-450ME) line stage and combination of all is extraordinary. I never heard such sound in any system, mine or not.... You don;t have to have exactly the same amplification (it can be had for about $20k not a small change, I admit)but Sasha demands $$$ investment into appropriate components
Good Luck !
Mike
