Tube amp for RC-10's
Mate I'd reckon those little RC 10's will sing with either of those amps. I use 2 way floor standers 2.6 Cu ft enclosures and 8inch bass/mid with a tweeter... 50watt tube provides AMPLE listening volume 
advantage of seperates vs integrated
Hi rsjm80 I think the 'small' differences can be worthwhile. Like you I listen mainly to 'rock'. 60's 70's 80's and that means Motorhead to floyd,yes,elp, genesis,king crimson; then on to classical, patricia barber, et al. So my system has to cove...

Is speaker accuracy important for a rock speaker?
Why do people assume that 'rock is only about slam. boom. screech and more bass?? I've listened to 'rock' all my adult life (now in 50's) yes some rock is about volume... however, lets now take it in another direction... Pink Floyd, Yes, ELP, 'rea... 
Anyone heard the Ming Da MC34AB
Owned one for almost 3 years.... NO electrical problems so far and no valve failure replace the input tubes for NOS, that includes the 6SN7's I use the JJ KT77's as outputs although I may go Genelex 77's next time round or EH EL34's as a standby. ...
