    Question Recommendations for an amp to suit my Tannoy Berkeleys?

    Hi,

    BUDGET £2000 or thereabouts ( Prefer less of course lol )

    Looking primarily for a Luxman 550aii, however I would consider a good valve integrated such as a WAD KT88 XL or similar.

    Or...... an integrated with a really good built in phono stage and perhaps an onboard DAC too.

    Yeah I know those choices are a bit all over the place, but I currently have a couple of valve power amps on loan and I'm liking what I hear, would just prefer to lower box count hence the integrated want.

    The Perreaux 150i that killie99 is selling looks interesting too, so something like that could be a possibility.

    Sorry for the mix of wants, but until I'm offered anything I won't know what to go for

    Thanks,

    Mike.

    Mike, there’s a Krell KSA 100 Series 2 for sale on PFM, could be good with the Tannoys?

    Wouldn't recommend it. KSA50 my MGs sound flat and boring. Sucked all the life out of them.

    I would recommend this though:

    Yes read that before, but the 100 is a different beast is it not?

    Woodside looks a good shout.

    Nice. I always fancied checking out a Graaf and that's a decent price.

    The original Darth Vader amp was this one though (I had one it wasn't half bad, though it did get VERY hot):



    Though it spawned an army of clones:
