"warm" solid state integrated amplifier
Hi, if I’m reading through the lines correctly you’re looking for a natural sound. If so, you might like the Circle Labs A200 around that budget. It’s a beautiful, tonally authentic amplifier that lets the music flow. Here’s a member review from ...

Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
@jjss49 I think it's important to mention the A200 doesn't sound like a traditional hybrid amp; it offers a unique topology with a surprisingly short signal path and has, to my ears, an immediate authenticity that is rare for an amplifier that mak...

Hi @xrayz the A100 is a discontinued model. The A200 is the only integrated amplifier in the Circle Labs lineup currently, with the M200 stereo/mono power amplifier and P300 fully balanced linestage just launched.Cheers,Colin

Speakers for triode tube amps
Wolf von Langa SON would be a remarkable choice. Here's a review at HFA: https://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/review/loudspeaker-reviews/loudspeakers-passive-reviews/wolf-von-la...Heads up that I offer WVL products in the US.

Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help
@essrand High Water Sound has the NAF 211 monos & linestage on display. Jeffrey is one of the good guys and might have a line on a 2A3 in NYC; worth calling.I have a 300B integrated in Nashville if you find yourself in the area. 
Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help
Agree a single 300B isn't universally ideal on the O/96. A push pull 300B sorts that right out and is lovely. 
Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help
A New Audio Frontiers 2A3 or 300B integrated would be lovely.Feel free to search for thoughts on this pairing; lots of glowing user reports out there.Heads up I'm a NAF dealer.
