Tube integrated amp less than 12" in depth?

What about the EE Minimax?

Yeah, sometimes I am just too cheap in my reco, but the sound really IS good, certainly not (great)likejadis, but for the price, is a mid-fi bargain....

Wavelengthy Cardinal X1's? less than 12" deep, and IMHO the best SET I have heard.

Springbok10, did you ever find you Meitner gear yet, if not, I may have a contact for you. BTW, the cardinals would work up to the low 90's db wise. You may want more though. How much power do you really want. Than I could help much easier. I went thru 14 sets of amps in the last year. I am just not a believer in overpaying for stuff, to have a name. IMO I look for the sonics, no need to be yuppified. I got rid of my mercedes, and bmw ect. been there done that. Now a collectible porche, thats another story(heheheh)

Good luck

Congrats, I look forward to meeting you sometime. Enjoy enjoy enjoy, I am smilin for you.

Springbok10, thank god for audiogon, to buy try and sell these off. My first SET was the Wavelength Cardinal X1, I was blown away by the holographic soundstage, and midrange magic, but was less than thrilled with the spl on rock and roll. I had been waiting for a BEZ 2a3, for my 98db speakers, and I was in an audio shop listening to Lamm 2.1 playing on Avantgarde speakers, along with a set of wavelengths. My head was bobbing to the tunes with the cards, but was analysing the music, and extension, detail, ect with the lamms. I realized I liked the Cards better. I bought them pre-owned as they were a trade in. I swapped them for my custom PP when I wated to rock, and used them for lower spl listening. I went to see a buddy who is a horn guy, and he gave me a homebrew digital amp, made by Kurt CH... of the Chicago Horn club. It was a Gain Clone. 25 watts, 50 bucks, unbelievable. More extended than the cards, more reveiling, better bass, I got confused, mad, frustrated, I sold my cards 2 days later. Than I realized my ears could not take teh high frequency and sterility of the digital, and need the musicality of tubes, or SS. So begins the madness and search for my audio truth.....
