Integrated Amp -- $1,500 or less.


I am in the process of downsizing my system. The only thing that I plan to keep is my Tyler Acoustic Taylor Ref. Monitors. I would appreciate suggestions on which integrated amps to audtion in the $1,500 or less category (new or used) to replace my Supratek Chardonnay and Bryston 4BSST (please, no Bryston comments -- I happen to think this was a great match). I realize that I am going to be sacrificing quite a bit as a result of this change, but changing priorities (i.e., WAF) dictate the change. Also, although the Bryston was 300wpc, the Ref. Monitors are pretty easy to drive, so power is not a constraining factor. My next step will be to find a CD player in the $500-$1000 category to match whatever amp I choose, so suggestions for well matched systems are weclome as well.

Thanks.

I just got a Unison Research Unico a few weeks ago. And it sounds so sweet. The best under $1500 amp I have ever owned, or even heard.
Blue Circle CS Integrated (new)

Used YBA Integre DT.
Or if you do want new, then its smaller cousin the Audio Refinement Complete..
