Best Integrated for JM Labs Micro Utopia BE

I may decide to finally get a pair of Micros in a year or so to build a second system in my place and if I do, I'm going to pair it with a Jadis integrated. We've discussed this topic here before and I think the Micros would do terrifically with tubes.

The MICROS are definitely a world class speaker.Regardless of cost.I have an acquaintance who drives them with a Manley Neo Classic 250.I have heard them driven beautifully with the BAT integrated amp(I think around 60 wpc).

These are truly stunning speakers,and hold their own against steeper competition.The Jadis mentioned would be absolutely STUNNING,yet there are quite a few fabulous amp contenders,at all price points.

One thing for sure(as my friend found out,since he switched from a massive fullrange mega buck system,to the MICROS),you most likely are NOT downgrading going in this direction.Provided you pay close attention to the room!

It really is amazing how some technology can really push the envelope.The MICROS sure do!!

Best!

Speedy, I agree. I used 'downgrade' in jest... Incidentally I have decided on the Jeff Rowland Concerto. Ultimately the small footprint and the fact that it runs cool made the decision for me, more so than sonic befits. I have a few curious munchkins running around here that love to stick their finger in places they shouldn't... Perhaps down the road I'll switch to tubes for a different presentation. That's part of the enjoyment anyway--to hear things in a way you haven't heard them before.

The equipment comes next weekend--can't wait. First disc will be Alebeniz' Iberia recorded by Alicia de Laroccha. I find piano music particularly enjoyable on the Micro's. Laroccha's piano will be mind-blowing on this setup!

Thanks to everyone for their input.

I am running the Miro Be s with a Jadis DA88s integrated . Its an absolute match made in heaven, rich detailed sound and fantastic imaging.It does take well to tubes

Accuphase E530 Class A Integrated, I suggest.
