The Krell K-300i is without question an integrated amp in a class of its own. I can attest to that as I heard it in a demo and it prompted me to purchase the 2 channel Duo 300 Krell as they share the same architecture. It is SUBLIME. Now, it’s a grand over your budget but you CAN get deals. In hi Hi-Fi Heaven is great to work with and accepts trade ins.
Best integrated/power amplifier under $6000
Looking for either a power amp or integrated amplifier with at least 150 watts in 8 ohms for under $6000- new or slightly used. What would you recommend? I would be using my own DAC with volume control - so just need either a power amp or intergrated without a DAC. Please share your recommendations for the best amp you have heard which meets the above requirements.
Thank you
Thank you

Plinius Huatonga is a fantastic amp. Sound is more open than many in its price range. Almost tube like in its spaciousness with great bass. Neither dark nor sterile, so it works well with many other components. Retail is $6K but you could likely find one for less. Its big brother the Hiato is awesome. They go used for around $6K but offer 300 wpc in a very clean delivery. Check out the reviews. |
