I have no experience at all with tube amps, wish to seek opinion on any worthy tube integrated amps, price below $1500 used or new. I don't mind Chinese if it is good.

My speakers are: JBL L110, Klipsch KG4, going to buy: Harbeth C7 es3 or Spendor SP1/2.

My music genre mainly: Jazz, vocal, Brit pop, mainstream pop & rock, and classical.

Get thee to Barter Town. Right now there are so many great deals on a variety of tube amps. Some great "home" builds by noted AK'ers, consumer products and both vintage and modern. I can think of several being offered right now that would be great fit with the really sweet gear you have and you'll gain a wealth of knowledge as well. Just my 2c's.

thanks but I forgot to mention that I don't live in North America, I am in Malaysia... don't think the barter town section is relevant to me....

So this amp sounds "well?" More importantly, Does it sound good?

Ahhh, the difference between English and, well, other forms of English. Where I'm from "how well it sounds" is somewhat more correct than "how good it sounds". My various English teachers would have put a big red mark through the second one.

If we are going to be pedantic about grammar, then let's finish doing the job. "Importantly" is incorrect in this sentence; the correct word is "important" since it is a predicate adjective not an adverb. The reason is clear: "important" is the adjective of the implied "What is." So the full sentence should be: What is more important, does it sound good? Or you could say, "Darkblue94 said importantly, "More important, does it sound good?"

Well I guess it do. :p
 
From a quick internet search it appears Jolida products are available new in Malaysia. I have nothing but praise for my JD-202BRC with Level 1 upgrades. It has since been discontinued. The Fusion 3502s is larger at 60w and sells for $1500 USD.
 
When each of you are able to shovel it with the facility of these fellows,you may then criticize the grammar of otherso_O

An early lesson from the master, as I recall. Loved his books.

Sorry, I didn't notice you weren't a subscriber. Bartertown is a membership perk. Well worth the price of admission I think. The deal I got earlier this year on my Yamaha NS-690ii speakers paid for several years of membership! I suspect someone else will get the same great deal from me when I decide to move them along.
