Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI?

FWIW the guy I bought my Joule pre from was buying Thor gear for his Merlins. Are you looking to spend 4k because you keep asking about $1200 integrateds?

If 1.2k will do the job, so be it. If 4k is necessary, I'm down with it.

But I am seeking an integrated, not separates, so Thor, as good as it may be, is out.

Never heard the Prima Lunas, but I imagine Bobby would suggest the EL34s
versions rather than the KT88 version if you choose to take that direction.
And if you considering the Prima Lunas, it also suggests the possibility of
Cayins as well - they look beautiful, but only heard them briefly. 30-40 watts
should be enough power to make them sing.

Couple of other integrated have popped up on my radar: Mastersound Due Venti & Grant Fidelity Rita 880. ???
