The old McCormacks are great in that price range. I would suggest you consider a good passive volume control, like a Promitheus REF 4 to go with the McCormacks. The unmodified McCormacks have a very high input impedence and play well even with resistor based passives. No issues at all with a transformer volume control like the Promethius. For 1100-1200 I think that combo will get you more than any integrated I know of in that price range. I believe McCormacks also are nice with Vandies.
Newbie building modest system ...what amp?
I have a adcom gtp 400, rega rp1 so far with kimber kables for interconnects and speaker cables.
In search of Vandersteen 2ce's.
Looking to spend in the 500-600 range used for a power amp. Then will be on the hunt for a used preamp after that.
Any input would be appreciated.
