HT2-TL's with a Belles 350A amp and CJ PV15 preamp?

I have the Belles 350A Reference power amp and a Conrad Johnson PV15 preamp. They should work nicely with the HT2-TL's but I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Salk speakers paired with Belles or Conrad Johnson equipment.

HT1 with cj el34 based amps.
Borrowed HT2 for a weekend 5 years ago with 6550 & el34.

1st the speakers are revealing en'uff to communicate the differences
between these two tube types as well as borrowed cj integrated.(s)
the CAV50 & the ET250S

So, If you like the sound of tubes you're good to go.  And I know it goes
against the grain of some but the tubes with their subtle euphony makes
a good case for smoothing the SEAS metal driver....imho.

In all honesty the more expensive ET250 was the best combination.
It had most of the check list of wants & needs under control.  All the others
were darned nice but you were picking & choosing amongst the +/- of
the gear.

good luck have fun & euphony isn't always a bad word.  And truly neutral
is a noble quest & most times it's ephemeral...ymmv, imho  yadda yadda

OgOgilby has a great SS CJ preamp and he loves it.

Update - I've had my new HT2-TL's in my system for a little over a week and I'm blown away.  The HT2-TL's have brought my system up to a new level. The HT2-TL's are a perfect fit IMO.  :D

Yes I do.

The HT2-TL's just get better as you upgrade your electronics since they are very revealing.
