I'd avoid pro amps...I use 'em for PA but they often have noisy fans (QSC) and non standard speaker posts...lots of bang for the buck but not as sweet as good modern hifi amps. The reviews of the new Cambridge integrateds are universally enthusiastic and they build that stuff really well, and the new NAD amps seem like a bargain. There are a lot of amazing integrateds out there these days...a friend has a Vincent that is a tank and sounds great.
