Luxman, and Ayre are going to be where you want to go in that price range.
Parasound is also warm, but at the cost of loss of detail and control.
"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.
