best mach for SB venere 1.5

speakers came they are currently been worked in with my sony avr and even with that they are sounding woow. still looking for amplification i read a lot these past month all around the web a lot of ppl were suggesting audio research but it seams out of my budget even for second hand ,i would really appreciate if some one can point me in right direction ,few thoughts here and there will help a lot .thank u

"now i need to get amplification that will be most suitable for them"

It would be helpful to know what aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you as "suitable" means very different things to different people. But, without that info, I would think it would be hard to go wrong with something like the Hegel H80 as it's a good all-rounder and has the onboard DAC you're looking for. There's also a nice H70 for sale here now for $900 that would probably get you close for less than half the price and leaves room in your budget for decent cables/interconnects. I found the Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II interconnects (Silver Ref I would work too, that is if you even need interconnects) and Satori cables (you'd need to buy both used, which is the way to go anyway) to be a nice match with the Venere 2.5s. They let the detail of the tweeter come through without being at all harsh and fully communicated very real and palpable mids the speakers are capable of. I'll have to defer to others on USB cable recommendations. There are undoubtedly other (and maybe cheaper) cables that would work well too, but just wanted to throw out one recommendation from experience. You could try some cables from direct sellers (Grover Huffman, Morrow, etc.) who usually have generous trial periods and return policies so you can try at home, and they offer good value. Hope this helps and best of luck.

THks for ur answer soix,it did help,i have been looking in hegel and its one of my choices (h-80) along with krill s300i, electrocompanient pi2 ,musical fidelity m5 .what is most important to me ?uff I'm new in this so it was a huge step up from what i had bfr to venere 1.5,i like to feel as closes to artist as its possible ,so i guess I'm looking that "live"feeling ,wide sound stage and details .i listen to all sorts of music and most of it is melodic /piano and metal at the same time,so u have mix of dynamics,fast bass lines on one and details and piano /vocal parts on the other hand.i hope this will help

I have not heard the Venere, so am just suggesting some good integrateds that you might not have considered, mostly at $2K or under. I have quite a bit of experience with SF, but not with the Venere line, unfortunately. At 85dB and 6 ohm they may be a little hard to drive. Stereophile actually measured them at 82 dB, I believe.

Plinius 8200 MkII is very good, but also hard to find. Has a great following.

NAD C390DD is an all digital offering, scaled down from there more expensive M2. The M3 is also available used in your range, not DD.

I have always liked Naim, so the 5i or XS might be a option.

Absolute Sound used a Hegel H300 in its review. You should check out out the review if you have not already. You probably have if you are considering the H80.

I have a Pathos Classic One driving old SF Concerto and it is lovely rich sound. The tube front end is very nice if you like that richness. If you like real detail, a hybrid may not be the way to go.

Peachtree Nova 125 is also a hybrid integrated but adds a usb DAC. I have never heard one, but many people like Peachtree. Again, it is a hybrid so you get some of the tube sound.

Ayre typically matches well to SF. However, their AX-7e integrated can be hard to find used. But I bet it would be a nice combination.

Of course, Wyred 4 Sound is suppose to be the giant killer these days. You might want to look at their integrateds.

The Yamaha S-2000 is another option, at the top of your price range new. It has gotten excellent reviews. Don't be put off by the Yamaha name. It is a fine integrated.

Some of these may be a bit of overkill for the 1.5s. Just thought I would throw out some options to consider. Probably adds more confusion that help, but these are what I would consider in your price range.

Good luck.

thanks for ur help dtc
