NAD should also be considered, such as a C375BEE with 150 wpc and preowned go for <$800. NAD is a step up from Rotel, having owned both. Good phono stage module for both MM and MC can easily be added and user installed for $200.
Suggestions for Amp & Preamp or Integrated for my speakers
I have:
Vandersteen 2Ce Signature ii speakers;
a 1980s Yamaha PF 800 turntable; My room is 17 x 13 x 7;
$2000 to spend.
I am thinking about buying an Amp and Preamp. However for $2000 I might just get a good integrated amp. I’m still deciding on a separate DAC or not. That’s for another day.
So here is what I am looking for, suggestions for an Amp & Preamp combination or Integrated Amp, depending on what you like and think is best components for $2000 with my speakers.
I’m interested in opinions.
