If you don't need the headphone outputs...then you dont need to even bother with the Premium HP, just get the Premium, save $1000 for tubes, it's the same amplifier without the headphone option, less tubes to worry about also.
Tube Integrated Amp to Drive Floorstanding Speakers?
forgive me, but i'm a relative newbie to audiophile concepts. i am looking to build a 2 channel system for music that i can grow with. currently i have a VPI Prime, Soundsmith MKIII cart. I'm using a vintage kenwood KA-9100 driving Elac Uni F bookshelf speakers for my office.
in the future, i plan on a listening room of 15x20, give or take. I am intrigued by integrated tube amps - looking at all sorts, including PrimaLuna, VPI 299d, etc. but these amps have lower WPC outputs. I'd like to grow into a floorstanding set, something like the Monitor Gold, KEF R-series or PBS Imagine T3 range. My tastes range from Classical to Classic Rock. i do not blast music by any means. Is an integrated tube amp (35-40 wpc) sufficient and will it leave room to grow? ideally i'd like a home threater bypass should i decide to add TV that into the mix
