Thank you for the answers. I am currently driving Guarneri with Jadis DA88S integrated amp 60 W per channel with great results. The timbre and harmonic richness is to die for. I have this amp but Guarneri are not mine. I am thinking about feature development of my system. I have to decide where to go – more powerful push-pull monoblocks or more refined but low watts SET amplifiers.
I decided that loudspeakers will solve this dilemma. If I find loudspeakers that really suits my taste I will know what amp will be next. I have on my short list loudspeakers with high efficiency (only dynamic) like Coincident Speakers, Living Voices, ART Loudspeakers, and much more with low efficiency like Sonus Faber Guarneri, Amati, ProAc Response and many others.
So far Guarneri sounded best in my system, so I will rather stay with PP tubes and fine tune the timbre with tube rolling.
