Check out Herb Reichert's review of the AVM Ovation A 6.2 ME in stereophile from a few months ago. It would be a stellar option and is well suited to driving most speakers.
"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.
