Help with an integrated amp for Joseph Audio Rm25xl's


My trusted Plinius 8200MkII (which I bought on A'gon used)  finally hit the dust and I need a new integrated amp for the Josephs.  I have a Tube DAC in the system so I don't think I "need" a tubed integrated amp.  My budget is about $1,750. Any help would be much appreciated
new or used

Had the opportunity to listen to the same Joseph's with the Manley Stingray a few years ago, for about a month? Sounded very good in full power, but a little lite in triode mode, at 18 watts per channel, in an 15 x 20 room with 10' ceilings. 

I would say 30 watts per channel would be the lowest I would go, unless your room is smaller.

I also used a Bel Canto Integrated at around 300 wpc. It could get a little aggressive in the highs, but very good bass and midrange, with that speaker.

Good Luck!
Thanks so much for the feedback about these integrated amps. I have ave some homework to do.  I would love to hear from anyone else who has experience with JA speakers. 

Hi guys...would 22wpc tube be sufficient? 10 x 14 x 10. Acoustic jazz instrumental and vocals. Non demanding.  Moderate listening levels. Thanks
Great speakers.  I’d strongly consider a PrimaLuna Prologue Premium. It’s a tubed integrated that generates 35-40 Wpc (tube dependent) that should be enough, and I’d think its strengths would match extremely well with JA speakers -- much like your Plinius. There’s one for sale here now a little over your price but may be negotiable.

Solid state I’d look at a used Hegel H100 or stretch for a used H200. Best of luck.

Just to provoke some thought. For $1,750.00 you may be able (or come close) to get a better value vs. sound by looking for used separates. Example; Primaluna P3 and P5 sounds pretty good with stock tubes, really steps up to the plate with NOS signal, phase, driver tubes. As money/time permits upgraded fuses and power cord make a big difference.
