    Best warm sounding 100W+ power amplifier under £1200 ?

    Most of it is 2nd harmonic. I have a SET system, so I guess prefer a warmer presentation

    I am sick of failing amplifiers

    Never had any amp trouble until i bought an 8 yr old naim power amp recently. Apart that huge 'thump' on turning on, which apparently is 'normal', the thing kept breaking down. No more naim for me.

    Best warm sounding 100W+ power amplifier under £1200 ?

    Decided to forego a tube preamp for new system, seeing as Lumin now use Leedh- drawing up a shortlist of best warm or rich sounding amps up to £1200 to power 86db/1w speakers Audiophonics purifi is around that price, no idea of sound signature. Op amps can be rolled tho. Below that are Vidar...

    Tubes, different makers, different types...but what are your preferences?

    Just bought a 'starter' set valve amp from Mark Audio (with a Node 2 as source). Amp came with JJ KT88's but will try Treasure KT120's in a month or so. I'll let you know how they compare.

    Astell&Kern DAP's.. can they compete with stand alone dac streamers?

    Curious about this, as the AK70mk2 with dual dacs and AK connect looks v good indeed. Not sure if AK do a dedicated 'cradle' for this budget player like they do with the far more expensive AK380. For example, how wd a Bluesound node 2 compare with a AK70mk2 in a 2 channel system
