AVA Synergy 450 sounds like a big modern(read not-"tubey") to me /
Fine amp, would hope the innamorata is better as it costs $ 5,000 more!
Thanks for your response. I guess my question is, if I use a tube pre-amp, how much of the tube sound gets transferred to the power amp / speakers? Would I get more of the desired sound character by just getting a tube integrated, or does the tube pre / solid state power give you the best of both worlds?
