Tube integrated for B&W Silver signature


3k is the limit (used or new) Thinking of Cary CAD-300SEI, EAR-V20, or even Jadis Orchestra? Thanks!

Forget Jolida, your speakers are way out of that league(backing up Avguygeorge completely). You seem steadfast on the 3K limit. I own the Jadis Orchestra Reference, so of course that serves as the ultimate recommendation. I also concur with Avguygeorge in dismissing the Orchestra. But, with the speakers you have, I would also not hesitate recommending the Cary amp. Your speakers present a very easy load for an amplifier(namely an SET) to drive. Their impedence does not drop below 6 Ohms, and is above 10 Ohms for much of the audio band. And the 6 Ohm minimum is in the treble region(at 5K and again at 15KHz), making this even much better than having the minimum in the bass region. If your musical taste includes a good bit of rock, pop, or blues, then the Jadis is better. But, I definitely feel you need to audition both. A good audition has no substitute.
