Haven't heard your amp or speakers so won't offer a specific opinion. Why not contact Reference and ask them directly about tube amps with the speakers you have; also maybe search the Virtual Systems section here if you haven't already see if any include your speakers and/or amp and contact some members who have them.
Moving up from LSA Statement integrated
Hi!
The move isn't really necessary, but if I were to upgrade my amp from the LSA Statement integrated (150W) I have now, which direction would you recommend I go in the $4K range. And is that even possible?
I could stay with an integrated - used or new. I could start saving up for separates. The LSA has a tube pre-amp and a duel mono SS amp. It's quite good, but I'm kicking the tires as to what would be the next step.
I'm powering Reference 3A de Capo's and listen to a variety of jazz, folk, and vocal.
I once had the ARC VS-110 and liked it powering my MAggie 3.6's. Should I go back to a tube integrated, a la Rogue? Would that be a downgrade?
