Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI?

I recently bought Vincent V-60 amp and upgraded tubes recently as well and it's a keeper.

Sorry to sound like a broken record but "Best" is in the eye/ear of the beholder. There is no definitive "best" anything, it's all subjective. When you ask a question like this, the answers will always be what folks think is "best" to them in their system.

Ok, let's change the question to -

Can anyone make suggestions for a good tube integrated amplifier worthy of consideration for use with my Merlin TSMs?

There is some evidence to suggest that if the integrated uses El34s for output tubes it is likely it will sound good to you, as it does to most users that have used/auditioned/owned Merlin speakers. While subjective, use of this tube seems to appeal to more Merlin listeners than integrateds using KT88/6550s.

Who takes the "best" question literally!? It's shorthand, folks. For pity's sake, let's not keep reinventing the wheel... over and over and over.

Capt369, it would be very interesting to hear your observations regarding 6550 versus EL34 with your Merlins after you have had a chance to compare. Has anyone had experience with both the Cary and Manley's (with Merlin or other speakers)?
