Please help ...integrated amp under $1200

Decide on the speakers first and then find an amp to properly drive them.

Agree! If you do this you will be reducing your risk of wasting lots of money. Decide what type of speakers float your boat first (sealed box, ported box, panel, open baffle, horn, etc.), then select your favorite of these. Only then shop for an amp to match what your speakers require. Of course, you should also check out powered and active speakers as well, thus saving you the trouble of purchasing an amp.

Very happy with Hegel H80 which sells used for your stated price

I'd second the Croft. I recently purchased a Croft preamp & it really made my MA Silver 2 speakers sound so much more alive & musical. 50 watts at 4 ohms is probably enough for most people--it will easily get you over 100db. I believe one reviewer of the 10's even preferred them with his 25-50 watt amplifiers.  

Thank you all...little overwhelmed by all this info. One question to you all is can I achieve true hi fidelity streaming Tidal as opposed to compact disc's. If so what is my best method, Please tell me hat you think....even if it's not necessarily what I'd like to hear...
