NAD M33. By def it’s a SS amp, but has all new amplification, almost zero distortion, sounds like neither tube or SS, somewhere perfectly in between. 200 watts with room correction, too.
Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k
It's a crowded market in the under $5k arena...
Let's hear which integrated amp surprised you and maybe even had you shaking your head in disbelief.
Watch the first response be, 'no $5k integrated is that good' blah blah blah. You know how it is, lot of old fogeys on here that are done censoring themselves and take it out on the thread.
Also, if I've missed the cutoff and there's just this $6k or $7k amp that is worth consideration, feel free to mention.

Hooserinohio has it right! There is no “best integarated” amp at any price! Without matching the specific amp to specific speakers. You must match the impedence as well as the efficiency of the speakers to the amp, among many other factors. If you get the right match then there are many great integrated amps! Hegel integrateds are “best” with Harbeths, while Line Magnetiics may be best with Proacs or Klipsch Heritage speakers, etc., etc. Select your speakers and then find your amp to match, or vice versa! |
