The Krell K-300i mentioned above a few times is great. Get it with the DAC card and you have a fantastic all-in-one, including HDMI eARC. I've had that and the Ayre AX-5 Twenty at the same time in my system and could live with either. The Ayre was warmer but not as detailed as the Krell. I would take the Ayre personally but you only get analogue, no digital available.
"warm" solid state integrated amplifier
I am interested in purchasing a new solid state integrated amplifier in the $6000 to $8000 price range. As I am getting older I am finding many amplifiers to be uncomfortable to my ears, "bright" is the term I see frequently used. I am looking for an amplifier that is "warm". Thank you and I appreciate any advice I receive from Audiogon members.
