Help me select an integrated amp. Options please

My listening room is approximately 20'X30' with a cathedral ceiling. My speakers have a nominal impedance of 6 ohm with a sensitivity of 96db. The frequency response is 20hz to 30khz. The minimum recomended power is 5 watts. I want to use an integrated amp and need some help. Would anyone be willing to provide me with recomendations. After this purchase I will be adding a cd player and a turntable.
Thanks

Don't know what your price range is, but I don't think theres many int's out there that hold a candle to the YBA offerings. The natural presentation, resolution of detail, and the ability to convey the performance are hallmarks of this French manufacturer.(Sorry about the French.....you can't have everything!)

If you're adding a phono section....the plus is that it comes with a very fine phono pre-amp!! Not an easy order in these days of digital or line stage only preamps and integrateds.

The YBA build, and parts quality is supurb! YBA equipment holds it's value very well also. Some hunting may help you find one on the "Gon", but you don't see tons of their gear for sale...(used) that is!

You might also look at the Plinius...it's also a fine integrated amp!

Happy hunting...

Depending on your price range you could get a YBA Integre DT (under 2K) which offer a excellent value (even when bought new)...

If your budget is in the $3K-9K range, get a YBA Passion Integre... the amp cost like $4,500 new. To my knowledge, nothing comes close in terms of details, musicallity and transparency for under $10K.

Make a search for integrated on the discussion forums. You will find some great info...
