anyone have any real world experience with these tube integrated amps?
Not real world, but interactions with LA manufacturers; I use custom made amplifier and monitors from my days in audio post. The guys who made them worked custom installs for studio:bauton at the time. What I gleaned from them is that all is in the circuit design, that it is not hard to design solid state that sounds like a good tube, not sure about vice versa. In regard to integrated tube, I have heard the same thing, the circuit design can be fantastic and sound amazing, or be a POS. I'm not an EE, so the nuances of the design are beyond me.
