If you were going to spend around $3000 would you get seperates or an integrated? Here is some info on the system: Office system, music only, small room(12x13). Sonus Faber monitors-4 ohm around 90db sensitivity. Will buy a new CD Player after I finish this purchase.
I am really up in the air on what gear to get, I have been thinking maybe Musical Fidelity A3.2 seperates, or the new Ayre integrated. And to through in a curve, maybe even get a used Sonic Frontiers Line 1 and Sonic Frontiers amp. Any and all opinions welcome.
If you can find a MF Nu-Vista for $3k you will be doing well... People seem to want more than that for them. There seems to be one for around $3200 for sale at Audiogon now. If you can afford it, this would probably be the best sound at that price point.
I do not think you could go wrong with the Ayre integrated amp. For right around $3k (shop around, you should be able to get it less), I doubt you can get seriously better solid state sound at that NEW RETAIL price point.
One big plus to getting an integrated amp is the need for only one power cord and one set of interconnects.
Shop around and you can get the YBA Passion Integre for about $3300, plus or minus, NEW! I love mine. Read my review, in the archives. Give a listen, or just by it on my say so. peace, warren
