RE: More Confused Every Day

A nice little system I put together for my daughter a while back was the Jolida FX 10 and a pair of PSB Alpha B1's. The Jolida uses a pair of 12AX7 and a quad of EL84's. Puts out 10 to 12 watts as I recall. The amp, speakers and cables came in around $800 or so. Prices have gone up some, but if you're a good shopper, or don't mind buying used, you can still do it for less than a grand. Turned out to be a real sweet sounding little system too. Substituting some JJ 5751's for the stock 12AX7's really helps the sound of the amp. It is no where near the last word in bass reproduction, but for the styles of music you mentioned it should more than satisfy. Surprisingly good sound for such a small package.
