Tubes or stick with S/S


Right now I have some Cornwall III's that I am happy with. Driven with an McIntosh MC 7106 that works quit well. I am kicking around the idea of buying a PrimaLuna integrated amp, any suggestions? And replacing the McIntosh.

In my last few systems I’ve had sucess using a tube pre-amp with a SS amp.You get the bottom authority of SS, with the sonic signiture of a tube.The braun, with the warmth, without the need of expensive power tubes.

You get the same (if well designed) just by going Class-A solid state.
This is why I suggested to mfdamon OP to look at the new 25w Class-A Schiit Aegir which would have no trouble with his 102db Klipsch Cornwall III’s

The Cornwall III’s are 102db, you don’t need much in the way of watts, I would go the new 25w "Class-A" Schiit Aegir solid state $799
