Best Amp For Martin Logan Aerius i Under $2000


I wonder what integrated amplifier I need to choose for `Martin Logan
Aerius i` speakers. Many suggest to use a tube amplifier to drive these
speakers. Any specific recomendations on amp would be great! Ideally I
would spent no more than $1500...used amp is the only option for me.

p.s. The whole system I try to build will consist of: Oracle Turntable
+ Integrated Amp + Aerius Speakers.

Hi Gregadd:
A very good friend of mine has owned many different systems,one of wich was Arieus driven by McCormak DNA 0.5.
Belive me when i tell you very nice combination.In Canada
the amp was about $2000 canadian give or take.Plenty of power,wich resoulted in big soundstage,great imaging and controlled mids and highs and very tight bottom.
Whit so many amps out there it is hard to choose,trust your instinct,and the rest will fallow.

I like Gregadd's choice. CAV-50 integrated is warm and smooth.Its simple, no nonsense approach.Right at your budget used. Should be a great match for the open and detailed Aerius!It should give them a fuller, lower mid bass :) Ken
