Avid reader, first time poster.
My system includes B&W CM6's, Rotel RSX1056, and I'm not impressed with the 2 channel sound. I've been considering tubes & have narrowed it down to
Manley Stingray
Pros: basically 2 monoblocks sharing a chassis, great site for purchasing parts, 5 year warranty
Cons: little worried about the low power
Audiovalve Assistent 50
Pros: great power, auto biasing system, Russian mig tubes
Cons: replacement tubes not so easy to find, hot tubes in a confined, but vented box,
I listen mostly to rock, and am trying to stay around $4000, +/- for an integrated......I also think for that price I should find something that looks great as well
Any suggestions are appreciated
