Integrated Amp for Silverline Prelude II

Hi All,

Just purchased a pair of Silverline Prelude mkII for a non-audiophile friend. I'd like some recommendations on integrated amplifiers that are a good match for these speakers. I'm open to all suggestions, but I think that she'll be less disposed to tubes (though I hear the PrimaLuna is a good match) and might want a remote (though I was thinking of a Portal Panache). Price is also a consideration. Looking for the best bang for the buck.

Thanks, Peter

Used Krell KAV300 or KAV400 could be found within $1500. They're very easy to use and sounding great.

Schubert - that would be a good price point. She would like the remote. Also thinking about a Plinius 8200, but it would probably be too pricey....

Indeed, too pricey and not needed.

If the speakers indeed are not fussy, and even if so, the Marantz PM8004. Sounds great with all the speakers I have. Have not used it with your mentioned speakers. The PM8004 is a really sweet amp.

Yes, could just as well go down in Marantz line as well.
I usually drive mine with an 8 watt a side Eastern Electric tube integrated. Works great.
