Hi,
I recently made a trip to audition Primarie I31 Integrated amp. I was amazed at the sonic performance of the Caiyin KT-88 40w tube amp when introduced after hearing the Primarie. The soundstage, resolution and sonic layering were excellent when compared to Primarie using the same Monitor Audio gold GS20 floorstander and Caiyin tube CD player (forgot the model) setup. The whole sound just opened up. However, I'll like to match Caiyin KT-88 tube amp with Cyrus CD8x and DAC-X, and B&W 804s speakers after hearing rave reviews of them individually. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a shop where I can audition of all these 3 equipment together. I'm worried matching tube amp with integrated CD player and B&W loudspeaker. Can anyone advise if the matching can be optimal?
Thanks

I think it would be a great combination of equipment. The B&W 804's have a 90dB sensitivity and the Cayin should be able to handle them well.

The Cyrus, Cayin and B&W 804's all get great write ups from users and reviewers alike.
