Best choice for small form Amp for desktop


Need to redo desktop setup so have to downsize Amp. Looking at used small form integrateds from Bel Canto(5i), W4S (mInt), Peachtree and a few other Class D units to run Spendor S3/5 monitors. Only 85db efficiency does mean I'm looking for 50 or more wrms. Haven't heard any of these but I know some of these use older ICE modules. Does that mean lesser performance? Should I focus on newer  executions? IM looking at spending $1k or so as this is a  more peripheral system. Appreciate input or suggestions on other brands too.

Try the PeacfhTree GAN1 used or the PeachTree GAN400. Both should be available for $1000 used. I have a modded GAN1 that is really good.

The Vista Spark is an excellent desk system amp, especially with lively speakers, such as Triangle BRO3’s.  All in, about $700.
