NAD316BEE is $449.00...all analog w/MM phono and a punchy 40W/ch rating. Of course smaller speakers may want more power, not less, due to lower sensitivity, but a solid 40 is usually enough for a 2000 cu ft room at non-injurious volume levels. The C326BEE is discontinued, and has been for a while.
Best cheap integrated amp
I'm looking to minimize my system in retirement, as I find my stereo gets minimal use. I'm looking to buy a NEW integrated amplifier under $500.
For now I will keep my TT, DAC, and phono preamp. Next I will downsize to smaller speakers. My current system is listed in virtual systems.
Thank you.
