Need your thoughts - LTA 40+ vs Pathos Inpol Integrated amp on 98db speakers.
Well since I cant afford to buy both amps and audition them, sounds like the LTA, is the safe and best bet!  Jerry I agree with your assessment of typical hybrids, they don't do it for me either.  Just tired of fussing with tubes after 25 years,... 
Need your thoughts - LTA 40+ vs Pathos Inpol Integrated amp on 98db speakers.
Jerry,   So you you've owned tubes and Inpol,can you compare the sound of the two types of amps.  I started with SS and moved to tubes 25 years ago.  I love the sound of tubes, but getting tired of fussing with them.  I know I dont want SS, or th...

Need your thoughts - LTA 40+ vs Pathos Inpol Integrated amp on 98db speakers.
Yes I know, but you have to buy it and then return it if you dont like it. Im trying to avoid buying 2 amp and then sending one back.. a lot of money to invest to get going!

My bad for not forming a proper question!  I am considering these 2 speaker brands.  Zu seems to get excellent reviews, but I have never listened to them.  I have however heard the Turnberrys and like them.I was hoping some of you had personal exp... 
Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode
Trelja,Thanks for the responses'. Never having opportunity to hear a Pentode amp I feared that might be how it would sound. Definitely not what I am looking for. Honestly I have heard a Eastern Electric 520 amp that does Pentode/UL. I did not like...

Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode
Atmasphere, I really appreciate someone with your knowledge and experience answering the thread. However, the sound characteristics of Ultra-linear you describe, I unfortunately have never heard. The sound always seems compressed and hard, smaller... 
Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode

Devore vs Harbeth
My situation is this, main system upstairs, Audio note SEP amp w/coincident peII's. Devore would work well there, if I wanted to change. 2nd system is HT system in basement with a big SS amp...Harbeth would work there. I had C7es3, liked them, but... 
Negative Feedback a deal killer?
Thanks for the responses. My speakers are Coincident peII's w/ a flat 8ohms load and 92 db. Aljordan's comment about znfb used with easy to drive speakers is true, I believe at least in my experience. The Unison would be used on the same speakers.... 
Negative Feedback a deal killer?
Magfan,Great question! I meant, but did not specify Global feedback.Thanks for the responses, cat fights aside:)Mike
