integrated for zu definition 3

I just got these new def3 speakers and currently have a viva 300p, but want something with a 845 tube but stll very musical and involving.

I know I may not be able to get into the 845 with my budget which, I think I have the viva sold for $2500,and I can add another $1000 so $3500 total.

I know these speakers have the capability of being keepers for life I just need the right amplification.

thanks,Scott

Admittedly a Viva fan, but I don't think that there's anything in the price range you are thinking of that will match the tonality of the Viva you own now. Yes, there are amps that will play louder, but if you value that "in the room" presence, you aren't getting it for 3K. I haven't heard the Mastersound 845 amp, but I did own a Due Trente and, while it was a very nice amp, was much more neutral (colorless?)than the Viva. Personally, I would not sell the Viva until you have something you think you like better. Best of luck.
