Tube Integrated Amp recommendation ?

Paul, I've been looking at these amps lately. They are in the Toronto area. Have you heard of them?

You and me both. I also like this EL84 based 5 watter. One input for my table and I'm set. That's probably way too much power for me though. :)

hrm this thread looks interesting, I'm considering a tube intergrated for my bedroom system with vintage speakers, heard one today but I'm fairly certain the speakers the store used for the demo were a drawback. Shall follow this one, I could learn a thing or four.
 
i love the looks of that finale, and the price is very resonable for what you get, but i searched around and have not been able to find one to go listen to. integrateds and i have a love hate relationship. i went from stereo amp to an integrated , then to monos the back to an integrated. then to another stereo amp then back to integrated. then ive now had a couple pairs of monos in. and i just ordered another integrated and sold off the monos. i really hope this is "the one" but im nervous because every time i get an integrated i find a pair of monos i want. and oh btw the swap from integrated to amps always add and subtract a new preamp. i dont spend as much as alot of people around here on gear but i now realize i do swap equipment just as fast, im really hoping this is my last amp purchase for awhile ,at least until i figure out what speakers i want. and oh btw this is only the 2nd of about 12 amps that i purchased new. fingers are crossed!!!
 
thanks Doug from what i been reading about a ton of integrateds is they are getting the trickle down technology from their top of the line counterparts, and making the integrated the best value to sound in the line up. im not sure this was the case with alot of the integrateds ive tried in the past.
 
Without getting into anything too esoteric,
Copland 405 (or for KT120's 405a)
Unison S6 is a killer

Unison Simply Italy.

BTW - I'm biased (see signature)
 
Still no "love" for The Rogers EHF200MkII. Maybe because so few people have ever heard it. Google it and read the review in TAS. Pretty amazing considering they do no advertising there….
 
Prima Luna Dialogue Premium for the money to me is a big home run for PL. You want effortless, drop some KT 150's straight in, EL34's, 88's,120's, they're all auto biased, couldn't be easier. Sure I may have a 30k preamp in bypass mode into the amps, but hey, I'm hi-end maintenance. ;)
