Which Integrated amps should I audition?

I need to downsize because we are moving to a small apartment. I enjoy all types of music except hip hop and rap. My current system consists of John Tucker modified Usher BE-10 Loudspeakers. Driven by Belles Power Modules M-01 monoblocks and driven by a Supratek Cabernet Dual preamp. The source is a John Tucker modified Oppo-95. I don't have the space for the 4piece amp and pre hence looking for an integrated amp. The new speakers will be small stand mounts. Open to suggestions on either tube or SS integrated. Don't know the dimensions of the new place yet.

It would be wise to determine the new mini-monitors first then only the amp to match,

AMEN .... perfect reply with an added caveat to also tailor/match the source

I agree with the suggestions of Rowland... Coda is equally good

I second the CODA...I have the CSi unbalanced version...definitely pumps my 4 ohm Tyler Acoustic Woodmere II's with 600++ wpc...hard to find but well worth it if you do come across one...

I've owned a number of nice integrated amps over the years (Ayre, Joule, Rogue....) and each had a number of nice attributes. In the end, my favorite was the Lyngdorf TDAI 2200, with or without room perfect room correction. I recently sold one of two I owned for a second system, and maybe you can find the reviews that I noted in google cache. Good luck!
