Which Tube integrated for Virgo?

Cary makes a 845se int. sold only by upscaleaudio.com it should have the extra power you should need.I don't think a 300b based se amp would have enough power.

There really, as far as i am concerned, only 3 intergateds for this speaker, based on one's preference. Cary sli80 sig., Manley Stingray, VAC Avatar. The Cary is my favorite of the group, most musical as well as the most powerful(in ultralinear mode). The Manley is great for making you tap your feet, it really has the "timing" down of individual instruments and the ensemble as a whole(but not the most detailed in an SET kind of way); The VAC does the dance between the 2(Cary, Manley). I haven't heard the Rogue yet, so that could be a poss. the Cary has a remote, headphone, 40 watts triode/80 ultralinear, can switch output tubes (6550,kt88...)killer sex appeal(although nothing touches the MAnley here), and most importantly, is extremely musical!

i bought my first tube amp--cj's mv55--having auditioned it and vtl and arc's comparable offerings through a pair of ap virgos. give the mv55/pv10 combo a listen. personally, i liked that set-up better than the cav50 (cj's integrated offering) with the virgos. good luck.

Check out the EAR integrated amps.
Good Luck

To my ears, the Jadis integrated amplifiers(Orchestra, Orchestra Reference, DA-30, and DA-60) are the finest tube integrated amplifiers available(exotics excepted). Superior to Audio Research, Cary, Conrad Johnson, Jolida, Kora, Manley, Rogue, VAC, and VTL in terms of parts/build quality and sonics. My intention was to not buy a integrated, but a power amp, I was impressed enough by the Jadis integrateds to buy one. Yes, they are that good.
