Using TAD-60 Amplifier Without Preamp?

I ran a thread about a little over a week ago looking for a single source tube preamp to run with my modified Denon 5910 universal player (only source), B&K Sonata M200 mono amps, and Silverline Sonata 2 speakers (95 db). I plan on keeping this a single source system. It was recommended to me that I might be better off looking for an integrated tube amp.

I have been researching many different integrated amplifiers the last week and came upon the TAD-60 amplifier, which has a volume control. I have seen many positive threads on this amplifier; however none of the threads have mentioned running it without a preamp. I was hoping someone might have some input on running this amplifier with my Denon 5910 player and Sonata 2 Speakers.

Note: I have never owned or used any tube equipment.

Shlomomofo,

Thank you for chiming in. It sounds like you are really enjoying the sound of your system. Did you have your Axiom m3ti monitors before you purchased the TAD-60? If so, can you tell me what the most notable difference in sound was for you? Is the volume control fairly easy to operate? Where does the dial adjust to when listening at a normal volume? Do you notice any noise in the speakers when the volume is low?
