My son drives a pair of Klipsch RP-8000F speakers with a Rega IO. Everyone that hears his stereo is impressed. Even the headphone output sounds good. A great value.
Rega IO integrated amp
Just a heads up for anyone looking for a relatively inexpensive integrated amp, you should hear the new Rega IO. For $599 it's hard to beat. I am using it in my bedroom system with a pair of Tannoy Mercury M1 speakers and an Arcam Blink. I am constantly amazed at the sound quality. At 30 watts per channel it won't knock the house down but in it's range it's really special.
I spent a few hours listening to it with the Vandersteen VLR CT at the Audio Connection and that experience made my buying decision easy. The fact that it drove a $3,100 speaker so well was a real surprise and along with a Bluesound Vault made for a great system. The MM phono stage is really good as well.
Anyone looking for an integrated amp in this price range should listen to it before you buy anything else. See the positive reviews win Tone Audio, Hi_Fi Choice, What Hi-Fi? and others for more details.
