Thenks so much.
That integrated looks great, except for the red lettering and that font, ugh. Didn't they used to be blue? I'm sorry to say I'm a bit of an aesthetist, so looks are important. Lack of remote may not be a killer though (see below re Marantz SACD player). I saw some of their discontinued products had them, wonder why they moved away from that feature.
I actually have a 300B integrated from Wavelength Audio (no remote) that needs repair (Nick refused, said it wasn't worth his time and my money). I need to send it back to Wavelength I guess.
Other amps I'm considering are the Wavelength Duetto (using the Marantz), the Linear Tube Audio ZOTL, either power or integrated, and for SS, the Sugden A21. I think that covers all the bases.
Speaker looks phenomenal. The applewood finish is beautiful (again with the font on the finish descriptions, it's unreadable!). But it looks like it would be what I'm after as far as "close to the room boundaries" condition.
I don't have golden ears, so as far as digital I'm looking at the new Marantz SACD 30N. It's sort of a Swiss army knife, includes a preamp in some fashion. I know I could use it with a power amp, not sure about an integrated.
Thanks again, and I'll give Nick a call when things are amenable here.
Follow Ups:
If buying new then you can have whatever case you like. You can get the Meishu in black with black or gold knobs. The speakers have stick on badges so you can put them wherever you like. I left mine off. One of the advantages of made to order is that you can get the look you want. Peter has an artist who does special prints on the amps as well. One guy bought it with a front Scottish plaid plate. Another person bought a hot pink Jinro.

Thanks again, that's good to know. I remember looking at them years ago and loved the look.
