Lavardin IT or Jadis DA50 Signature?

With these amps, I would suggest you decide what speakers you will have first. This will avoid making a mistake as these two amps will not like the same speakers.

Speaker selection should be heavily influenced by the room dimensions and materials. Amp selection will then be heavily influenced by the speakers.

arthur is correct. if it turns out to be a toss up, go with the legend...jadis

Take the Lavardin and get your hands on a pair of Living Voice OBX ,a combo loved by many.

I have just changed my IT and use a tube amp too, Viva Solista not Jadis. I have heard Jadis on a number of occasions. The IT is everything people say of it, but only 50 watts. It is fast clean, transparent, but it lacks drive. It is on the polite side of neutral. It worked well on my Living Voice Avatars, but was running out of puff on my new Acoustic Zen Adagios(89db, ok, but only just. As a matter of interest, my Karan K180 has many of the IT virtues, but certainly more base control and better dynamics. A clear step up with the Adagios
