I think I've achieved a good balance with this set-up. I go back and forth between the Jolida tube sound and the BIG power of the Accuphase, depending on the music and volume level I want. Either amp sounds so good with the Shearwaters. Comments are always welcome-Rich
Nice system. I'm running the Shearwater HRs bi-wired also with simple integrated. Love the sound. Curious as to whether you've tried the bi-amping with the tubes and accuphase amp.
