Integrated amp for Proac D2

What improvements are you looking for and what sound characteristics are most important to you?  Also, where are you located?

proac response series (and their successors including the d-series) are very well known to be highly synergistic with audio research tube amps, so you may want to try an arc integrated model, of which there are several out there used, older ones are well depreciated now (though still by no means inexpensive) and newer ones are very very good but pricey

Maybe looking for a little more energy and maybe more brightness.  I live in Texas

kinki integrated amp

this will give you brightness and energy

Hegel is worth a look. Nicely detailed but not overly bright.  Best of luck. 

Try the Belles Signature integrated.  Call Johnny at Audio Connection.  He knows Belles and Proac very well.

I’d add Moon and Rogue to you audition list. 

+1 @twoleftears Johnny R knows his stuff and will give you the straight poop.  And Belles makes some excellent amplifiers.  Agree to give him a call. 

i had a belles aria (non sig model) and i agree it adds a dose of brightness in its presentation of the music... it is a bit cheaper than the kinki unit used (but not by much, a few hundred bucks) but i personally feel the kinki produces a more refined, sophisticated sound and has more sonic headroom than the aria, while delivering a similar forward-treble-with-somewhat-recessed-midrange kind of tonal balance that some systems can benefit from

Love the Hegel suggestion. 

TMR has a three year old H190, which I would prefer over Cyrus or Marantz.  

Much better line up with ProAc

the coda sound is clean neutral and has a huge wallto wall soundstage and the amp has great bass and dynamics
