Please help ...integrated amp under $1200

hi tboy,
    I've been streaming tidal since it became available in the US and I love it. Steaming from a Sonos Connect to a decent DAC will get you much of the way to a very expensive system. And, I sure do like the huge variety of streaming services and UI with the Sonos. Also, I've had an NAD 355 driving a low impedance load in my floury bakery production area for years now and I have to say that it still sounds great and is extremely robust. Maybe not as refined as some of the great choices mentioned above, but it will have plenty of juice for any future speakers you may have, or if you want to wire a pair of remote speakers in your kitchen!
Regards,
Oran.

Bel Canto C5i can be had for that used. I own one and can’t recommend it highly enough. It has everything in a small efficient package and sound quality along with overall implementation is most neutral and  top notch overall, espeically for the cost.  Worth looking for IMHO. Rogue Sphinx tube hybrid is another good choice in that price range that I have heard and liked a lot but you will need an external DAC for that. These two are my choices for that price depending on what you need.

Dared VP-80....beautiful tube integrated, but no phono stage. 45 watts per channel, auto-biasing. Am considering selling after purchasing 101 db efficiency speakers.

There are plenty of very good previously owned integrated amplifier options in your price range. NAD, Music Fidelity, Exposure 3010S, Classe to name a few. The Exposure would be high on my list to investigate. Or even a 2010S paired with its sibling power amplifier in a biamp configuration. No doubt it would sound excellent with the monitor Audio's.  

If you can live with a solid 50 watts/ch., buy the Audio Refinement Complete Integrated that just popped up here on A-goN today. It's $500 and it's a killer integrated at that price. It has remote, but no phono input and no built-in DAC. But it is an exceptional value. Unit sounds much more expensive and is very musical. Build quality is way above the price.

 You can thank me later........
