Smooth sounding integrated <$1k


I’m looking for a smooth sounding solid state integrated amp that is not muffled sounding for less the $1000. Is there anything like this? Years ago I had a Denon stereo receiver that sounded pleasant for tv and movies in our lively family room. A lot has changed since then and would like to try going down this road again, but with a better integrated amp for the family room.

+1 for a Peachtree (try used!).

Good DAC to send audio out via Optical from TV. Comes with a remote (necessary for a TV integrated). Probably the best looking integrated to tick the WAF box. You’ll have to use the TV as the hub, and you can have a very minimal setup with your preferred streaming stick/puck. Throw in an iFi Spidf reclocker for $150 to help correct the noise your TV will introduce.
