Best Integrated Amp $1-2k range


Who makes the best out there to power a pair of N.E.A.R 50 MEs? The best for rock, sould and country? Puccini SE? Audio Refinement Complete?

Electrocmpaniet! The only integrated better is Avatar(VAc)but 500 more (used).
Musical Fidelity A300, $1495 for dual mono 150w with remote control. Sam Tellig gave rave review in Stereophile couple months ago, MF really turning out great sound for maximum value........MF is for real, Nu-Vista amp is class A rated, very reliable can't go wrong with A300
Audio Refinement Complete sounded MUCH better to me than ACURUS, NAD, CREEK, and much more neutral than VAC Avatar (what a joke!). Simply the best integrated under $2k IMHO. DO NOT ASSUME THESE ALL SOUND THE SAME! All you need is an excellent, resolving speaker to differentiate them. The Complete is clearly the smoothest, with great pace and resolution. It's a little laid back, and a tiny bit soft on top, but can be had for $900 with remote discounted! Try one.
Subaru!...how much "MORE" is Audio Refinement...neutral than the AVATAR? And, you are able to tell us that? Right? You are full of $^(&! You never listen Avatar, otherwise you would never made such a statement. Also, Linn Majik beats any Int. amp in the 2k range HANDS DOWN!
I own the A3 MF integrated and feel it is the integrated equivalent of McCormack .
