Hi Tracerec

I can relate. I have 1 tube amp, an ASL MG S1 15DT 5 wpc SET integrated, and 7 solid state amps:

Anthem PVA 5 (5 channel)
Yamaha M80 2 channel
Onkyo M-504 2 channel
Kenwood KA9100 2 channel
3 Onkyo M282 2 channel amps.

I think the big Yamaha is the most musical, the big Onk M504, next most musical, the Anthem is excellent, and the Onkyo 282s are very nice. For kicking back and listening in 2 channel, my personal favorite is the tubie. The others are also very nice.

Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.
