Power Amp Question

Question: how to match a power amp to my system using an integrated amp as a preamp.

System:

Triad Gold LCR In-Room Speakers 4-OHM 100-400 watt

Audio Tecnica AT-OC9XL Dual MC cartridge

NAD C356 integrated amp

Rega Aria MK3 (recently added)

Thank You

The signal is so small and delicate...screw it up here and it won't matter much how good the amp is. Buying a better amp is usually a modest upgrade. Want to make a big difference? Preamp and phono amp: get the very best you can afford.
