I have owned the little 15 watt/5 watt ASL Integrated, and currently own a Jolida 302B. I would agree with Zorpman that the quality level seems about equal between the two, perhaps with a slight nod to Jolida. The Jolida (which uses EL 34's) is a "richer", more powerful sounding unit for sure, but those Triangle's are pretty efficient and should easily be driven by even the smallest of ASL rigs. I would suggest listening to both with your intended speakers. Personally, I like the rich tone of the Jolida, and it would make a good match with the lively sound of the Triangles. Count on replacing the tubes with EITHER unit, just consider it part of the cost of the unit as the tubes that come with either are, well, er, "economical". Good luck!
