Depends very much on the speakers you intend to use.
I've been running an SLI-80 into ProAc speakers for years.
Lovely sound.

Which Tube Integrated? Rogue v. Cary v. ARC
I'm new (6 months) to this obsession, but have discovered a fondness for tubes, yet a need to keep things as simple as possible (i.e., integrated instead of separates).
There appear to be three reasonable integrated tube amps on the market: Rogue Tempest Magnum, Cary SLI-80, and the new ARC VSI-55. The latter is based on the 2002 VS-55 tube amp, and is new enough that it is not even on ARC's web site yet.
Anyone with enough experience with any of these to offer an enlightened opinion?
