Brio is Class AB vs Sprout Class D. I would bet on the Brio for that reason alone. I have heard the Brio a few years back in Memphis and was very impressed b the sound for the money. If I was in the market for a mid level integrated it would be one of the top 3.
Best bang for buck integrated amp for $500
Looking for best bang for buck amp for under $ 500. I have triangle Bro 2 speakers already and cables and a dac. So just looking at a amp. Something in the 50-100 watt range, slightly on warm side of neutral, good low end, all the good stuff.
Right now i own the Emotiva basx A-100 its not bad i paid $199 but i want to step up my game. Im kinda looking at Cambridge audio AXR100, a couple of yamahas, but wide open to suggestions ?

Would highly recommend the Music Hall 15.3a. Here's a review of it: https://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/system-one/1530-high-value-surprise-the-music-hall-a15-3-in... It's a fantastic integrated - I had it in a simple system, but I tried it out in my main system. I was amazed by the sound quality - clear, fluid, with a touch of warmth. It's $549 new, so not much over your budget, and they do come up used, so keep an eye out. I liked it better than the Rega Brio. |
