I agree with the other posts that the Krell integrated might be ideal, however... If you're like me that's just a little bit out of my price range- I recently purchased an Exposure super XV integrated ($1450.00 list) which I think is a great sounding integrated. Granted it lacks the punch of the Krell, but in it's price range I have no complaints.
Need advice on amplifier upgrade
I currently have 802 matrix III,a rega planet cd player and a sony es receiver which I plan to upgrade soon. I'd like advice on which amps would match up well and whether I should go with an integrated amp or power amp using my sony as a pre amp until i can upgrade that down the road.
