a used $300+$400 NAD integrated amp is a solid bet as are others above. when you have about $800 consider tube amps, given your tastes you may prefer that sound over solid state. imo unless you spend more than a couple grand on an integrated solid state amp there will not be a helluva sound difference between quality SS amps. do get a quality cd player (NAD is affordable) and audition new formats of hi def cd's on market. they blow regular cd's away! nice speaker choice btw, you are off to good start!
Which Intergrated amp for starter??
Category: Amplifiers
Hello all just wondering if anyone can give me some advice on a good intergrated amp. As of now I will be using my computer as a source until I can afford better eq. For speakers I will either be getting B & W's 602 s3 or Sonus concertino if I can find them or maybe some totem mites.
I mostly listen to classical (Brass quintents, Mahler, Bruckner, Piano) and Jazz (clark terry, mingus, clifford brown).
I figured that getting a good amp that is flexible would be a better bet than speakers which can be changed more often than not. What intergrated amp out there is a good all around perfomer for various music.
Thanks
