500 to spend on int.amp,help me match with gear.


Currently using Yamaha RXV1000 to power PSB Alpha A/V (6ohms)with Music Hall MMF CD25 connected to 5.1 inputs. Current set up sounds a little harsh, and I like a smoother sound. AQ Diamondback ics, Monster Original speaker cables. I also dont want to mess with tubes. Would consider used SS stuff. Thanks for the help!

There's a used Audio Refinement Complete integrated amp for sale at $600 here on AG.

It's only about 75 wpc, but some to many reviewers have rated this little guy extremely well. Supposedly crosses the solid state line and sounds like an excellent tube amp.

I've never listened to it.
I've found the rega integrated amps to have a nice smooth sound. I've used the Mira and a friend has a Brio. There is very little difference in sound quality between the two. The mira is a little more powerful and has a remote though.

I have been thinking about Roksan Kandy, Rotel RA-02,Cambridge Audio A500 and Arcam A65. Any opinions on these?
