I do not have your speakers I Meadowlark Audio Kestrels. I do, however, have a Sony S50ES, your model with a single tray. I also have a Jolida integrated amp, the 102B. In my opinion, not the same league. While the Jolida is just an entry level tube amp, it is sooo much more musical than the Sony. I have moved the Sony into the HT system, where it does a very good job. Some have raved about the SACD on these Sony digitals. Even with SACD on the Sony and redbook on the Jolida, I much prefer the sound coming from the Jolida.
