Why not AR i50? Seems right up your alley and in your wheelhouse price wise... Maybe Canor Virtus i2 40/20wpc class A. I would go with the Canor which just debuted at Munich, but 7k.
Good luck and happy Hunting
Integrated suggestions
Hi all, for personal reasons I need to sell my $17k tube integrated & would have to replace it with something much cheaper - around $4k, maybe $5k...
I only mention the price of my current amp so you're familiar with the level of performance to which I am accustomed.
It would need to have at least one balanced input, line only is fine, at least 30W PC, any class is OK as long as it offers exceptional performance for its price point! Tube or SS. Capability to run 4ohm speakers.
Any suggestions...?
I know there are many but you guys may suggest something I may not consider.
Thanks.
