Best Bang 4 the $ Intergrated Amp

I have Preludes (love 'em...although the price went up to $1499 recently, and I strongly suggest a used REL or other high quality sub to make them really sing) and the dude who inspired me to get them uses a Vincent SV236...I think the Shengya A-216 is cheaper and likely a GREAT amp (Grant Audio has these). I'd suggest a Kavent SP320 (similar to Vincent and Shengya, and built like a tank...I have one of their preamps) but they're not available currrently, or perhaps ever again.

I think version 2 of the Preludes (most Prelude owners including myself have this version) have closer to 3.75" woofers...my ego seems to need that extra inch (total). Alan yun is cool...I talked to him on the phone when I bought my Preludes as one woofer wasn't working (easy fix so no big deal..wasn't hooked up to the crossover)...he is great, and suggested NOT biwiring them as he thought they sounded more "coherent" (his words) as single wired (I tried both ways and found out he was correct!).
