Marantz pm7000n under $1k, integrated amp with built-in streamer - natively stream Tidal/Qubuz/Spotify/etc. wirelessly or over Ethernet cable; one-box solution; includes phono stage; class A/B amplifier, not class D. Check the reviews. I have one in my office system. It was a substantial upgrade over Bluesound Powernode 2 to my ears.
Upgrading entry level system
I have $1k to spend and my current system is:
Denon DRA-800H receiver (used for streaming and turntable)
Denon DP-300F turntable
JBL 530 speakers
Rhythmik L12
I am considering the Wharfedale Evo 4.3 or Monitor Audio Silver 100 but wanted to ask if I should consider other options.
At least half of my listening is old punk rock with lousy production values but the rest is a mix of other rock styles that might be improved with better equipment.
