Bose 901 series VI & Yamaha A-S2000


Hi.
I'm a jazz mania who is interested in purchasing new audio system in a couple of months.

Currently, I'm considering Bose 901 (series VI) speakers & Yamaha A-S2000 integrated amp but not sure if the Yamaha amp will be a good match for the Bose speakers.
Also, I heard that Creek 5350SE will be a good one.
Can anyone recommend any good integrated amp (under $2,000) that can match well with the Bose speakers?

Or I would be glad if anyone can recommend good system (amp + speakers) for listening to jazz. My budget is limited to $3,500. Since I use my PC & a DAC (NuForce uDAC-2) to play 24/96 FLAC files, I don't think I need to buy a CD player for now. (I might need to buy a better DAC though.)

Thanks in advance.

I see this is an 10 month old post, but for someone that may be looking for this same combination, you can not use the Bose 901s with this integrated amp because there is no tape loop, and the "preamp out" on the Yamaha A-S2000 can not be used with the "main amp" in at the same time. You can only use the "preamp out" with an external amp, and you can only use the "main amp" in with an external preamp. This is what I hate about the so called "high-end"; instead of answering a question, they impose there biased views, thinking they know so much that they have to enlighten those that are not in "the know".
