Hands down, the Rega Brio at $995. Full disclosure here. I work for a Rega dealer. I've heard a wide array of integrated and separates over the years. This little guy runs rings around many integrated amps, and will even take on some more basic separates setups. Excellent phono stage as well. This is a must, as we are vinyl fans. Also, a true analog volume control. A key annoyance with many modern amps is the lack of this.
What do you think is the best integrated amplifier under 1000
How's it going?! I'm in search for a integrated that can produce the best sound for the 1000 under bracket. I know it's not a lot of money for an amp, but I still think there's some great amps on the used market for that price. Or if anyone would know a great chi-fi amp for the price it would be all so helpful. I have wharfedale 9.1 bookself speakers
and will be mainly using the speakers for hip hop music. My room size is very small like 9 feet by 10 feet for a computer set up. I have it running my speakers into a Emotiva basx a100 in a Arcam rdac to computer. It's just for near filed desktop use. The speakers have a sensitivity of 86db so looking for something powerful enough. Here are the rest of the specs:
