advice on integrated amp


I have a pair of Meadowlark Kestrals (HR) and a Rotel 971 ( w/ some mods) and am looking for a modestly priced s.s.integrated (new or used less than 1k) to round it out-
any suggestions?
cable and other advice would be welcome as well-
thanks in advance-Adam

I know Meadowlark very well and used to be a dyed-in-the-wool integrated person. You have some good options above. The better the integrated the more the Meadowlarks will open up, so go the extra few dollars if you need to and can. Almost any of the British amps will do well and the Naim may mate better with the Ketrel HR. The Electo amp would probably sound very neutral and give you tight bass. Also consider a used Conrad Johnson integrated and the Carins. The CJ will be exceptional with the speaker in the midrange and sound stage. The Carins will open up the top and be real sweet. Good luck.
