Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget


$3000 is my max.

TIA

The Belles Aria integrated can be found used for around $1300.  It sounds very sweet.  Beautiful sounding little amp.  It supposedly has a decent phone pre as well.  I’d pair it with a streamer (maybe bluesound node) and a good dac (budget $800-$1000 for the dac.

 

I had a Belles Aria and loved it. I now have a Kinki EX-M1, which I love as well.

 

Another option that I recommend often is a pair of LS50 wireless 2 (meta version) and a pair of matching Rel subs.  For around $5k its hard to beat
