Integrated Amps

Good to know no one is disparaging the video editor of the Absolute Sound like they do with Andrew Robinson, whose video I grabbed in order to put in another perspective.  

Don't let that deter anyone interested in a highly performing integrated such as the Technics SU-G700M2. You can all now go back to the rock throwing.

All the best,

Lots of great advice everyone! I do appreciate it. I've been doing more research the last couple of days and taking closer looks at the NAD c399, MF MSi6, Hegel H95, PS Audio Stellar Mk2, Rogue Sphinx V3, and a few others.

The speaker upgrade I'm currently leaning towards are the Monitor Audio silver 300 7Gs and then determine my integrated amp option. 100 wpc minimum with adequate digital inputs, with a headphone amp. A phono stage isn't a deal breaker but an HDMI for TV connection would be a plus. 

@bipod72, I use the optical output from my LG OLED TV to my Bricasti DAC and it connects to my MF M6Si integrated amp.

Whilst noting comments to my input of the NAD C399 that its not the warmest of amps (none of the Hypex are) it does also have an E-ARC HDMI, so probably simplest connection for you from the TV.

With regard to the speakers if they are similar priced in the US (they are in the UK) then might I suggest as an additional audition to the Monitor Audio 300 7G's the Acoustic Energy AE 320  and AE 509.   When the NAD C399 was bought I had some slightly old generation Monitor Audio Gold's and we tried them against some borrowed for audition Acoustic Energy's and I was impressed enough by the difference buy my step-daughter/son-in-law the Acoustic Energy's when I could have just let them have the older Monitor Audio's.   

Currently own the Musical Fidelity M6si500. Absolutely crushes most amps at the price point. Get an open box or used, for even more value.

I use the preamp outs on these to power my subs
