Integrated or separates?


I've got about $1000 to spend on an integrated amp or preamp/amp combo. I just purchased some B&W 604S3's for speakers and am looking for any suggestions. The store I bought the speakers from was running them with all Rotel gear and they sounded great, so I may lean towards them, but I'd like to stick to used/demo products due to cost (bang/$$). Any other suggestions?

Rotel electronics will match well the B&W 600 series. The 604's can also benefit from stuff further up the audio chain.

I would probably go with an integrated with a $1000 budget.
On the used market for separates, one thing you could look for is a older Conrad Johnson PV-10AL tube preamp or PF-1L or PF-2L solid state preamp. They are all around $500. For an amp around $500 either McCormick or a Conrad Johnson MF2100 or Sonographe SA250
