Integrated Amplifier Recommendations Needed
I have a pair of JBL L112 speakers in excellent condition, but I would like an integrated amplifier to drive them. The JBLs are fairly efficient, 89 dB @ 1 W/1 M, and the maximum recommended amplifier power is 300 watts. My room is 20X25 with 10-foot ceilings.
100 wpc would be adequate; what do you all recommend? I want to stay under $2000, and used equipment is fine.
I listen to 80% jazz, from small groups to big bands. The rest mixes classical, classic rock, Steely Dan, etc.
Best,
MB

btw, why limit yourself to Integrated? What are your sources? This Chase Remote Line Controller will give you up to 4 line inputs as well as remote: power; volume; mute; balance; treble; bass, and two identical outputs (ignore front/back, it was from the early quad era, identical stereo signals front and rear, and a fader). thus you can use any amp, mono blocks, vintage, full featured with no remote ..... I use one with my Vintage Yamaha Receiver via it’s processor loop to get remote volume and mute in the shop system. Another for remote balance in main system, and my office just for remote power as the Luxman lacks that. And, it has automatic and progressive bass boost for low level listening which is excellent implementatiom, even though I don’t listen at low levels. this is new in box you must have the remote as there are no controls on the unit. save money, there is a remote for sale for $30. then you can buy one of the many without remotes, they all use the same KP-1 remote If you want Vintage with those speakers, just saying
