Mostly for the convenience of hdmi switching for multiple devices -- ps3, apple tv, Xbox. I couldn't figure out a way to pump sound from all those plus the transporter into an integrated. Maybe I just missed something in thinking about it though. I'd consider a good 2 channel integrated, since it'll be a while before I can get surround set up due to living room config.
Amp recommendations sought
I just installed a Marantz SR6006 which is the first receiver I've owned that has pre-outs for separate amplification.
I'd like to hear what better informed folks than me would recommend I consider for amplification of my front 2 channels (those happen to be the only two channels in use right now). The application I'm most concerned with is music quality, I don't really much care about sound quality of movies/tv, it's good enough as-is.
My transport is the Logitech Transporter, DAC will either be my old Audio Note DAC 1.1, or possibly a Burson DA-160 I currently have on order, if I like it better. At least for the moment.
Speakers are Amphion Argon monitors.
Budget is approx $1-2k, used.
