integrated Tube C-J CAV50 for Proac 2.5


I recently set up system: C-J CAV50 to drive proAC2.5.
At this moment, this combination is not even as good as
my old set up with spendor sp2/2.(especially for violin)
I am not sure what I did wrong. Please help!!

i mostly listen to classical.

Not enough power for the Proac 2.5. I tried this combination once. Sorry. At least in my experience, the combination sounded a bit flat and soft in the bass. The CJ-11a amp was adequate to power the Proac 2.5 for small rooms, and the CJ Premier 12 monoblocks really made the Proac 2.5's sing in my living room!

You have two great components that are unfortunately not made for each other. They both have solid resale value, as far as I can tell. Good luck deciding!

Thanks. Art. Now I need make decision among there choices:

1) stick with ProAC2.5 and sell my CAV50 and Spendor sp2/2 to get ARC gears (VT100 + SP8 pre ?? I guess)

2) keep CAV50 and upgrade spendor to sp1/2 or sp100. and
say good bye to my dreaming ProAC2.5 ~

BUT NOW ANOTHER ISSUE ARISED: DOES C-J CAV50 HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO DRIVE SP1/2 OR SP100??? My budget is really limit
and i don;t want to break my bank and credit card company
during the upgrade.

THANKS.
I drive Proac D25 with a Plinius 9200 intergrated sounds amazing... Might want to try the Plinius or another really good solid state integrated..
