Really like the NAD integrateds. Use a very cool hybrid Class D. :)
Looking for a desktop power amp
I have a *small* desk at home that I am outfitting with a good quality DAC (Benchmark DAC-1 USB ~$700 CAD) that supports a preamp output and new pair of 100W Energy CB-5 bookshelf speakers (~$400 CAD).
Any suggestions for a small footprint power amp that would be less than $400 and ideally more like <=$200 that won't let the system down? I don't even need a preamp but it seems only the full size boxes come as pure power amps.
Note: I have a derent pair of headphones so please don't freak out that I'm connecting the DAC-1 to CB-5s.
