Emil,

Another one to consider is the integrated from Melody.  Reach out to Hugh (Angel City Audio, one of the sponsor for the site) who is Melody distributor.  There is a AN211 tour starting and additional information about the tour is http://www.audionervosa.com/index.php?topic=2772.0

My $0.02.

I had a chance to carry LA Audio back in 2008 and after listening then seeing the inside, I decided not to.

Also, just FYI.

EnjoyTheMusic is currently reviewing our Pure Black 101 and the preview from them is very promising.

I had the Air Tight ATM-1 in my system and it was great!
I needed more power than the 34 watts it provides but if 34 watts is OK then you will love it.
Check out www.tubes4hifi.com, Bob Latino makes some very nice stuff for not alot of money

Lots of great choices out there
System consists of an amp a preamp, 2 speakers a turntable and a phono preamp, Also some cables and power cords and a really cheap cd player.

I have built the Bob Latino ST-70 with Mundorf mods and this is a very nice amp for the money.  Dead quiet and is very dynamic.  Highly recommend. Excellent instructions and plenty of help on their forum site.  Recommend the stepped attenuator option for variety.

  I would certainly demo the Melody. Jadis another. Hogg has a Jadis which work very well with his Tannoy speakers. your speakers are very similar.
   Not inexpensive though. If you want to SET 211 mono blocks I have a pair which I'm NOT selling and a passive pre that mates real well. You should experience SET with your horns.

  Shane of Home theater doctor is offering an AMR less than dealer cost. Investigate right here. Do not forget Melody though.

  Almost forgot The NAD Master series which one of our AN members fell in love. Go figure.

Emil, check out the Coincident Dynamo 34SE. If you are still using Klipsch 8 watts is plenty. Getting very good reviews on the web. Price is $1299 new! I have their Franks and really like them.
