Budget rules! If you’re flush, Mark Levinson, Krell, PASS Labs, AR.
Best budget , both integrated or pre and power amp separates are from AVA.
My personal favorites, in order: Crown, Bryston, Audio by Van Alstine, Paradound, NAD and Rotel. Rotel is particularly nice sounding at reasonable cost.
But my advice is Crown. I bout my four hundred RMS WPC Crown power app on Amazon, in like-new condition for $299.95. Hard to beat a deal like that! Effortless drives my low sensitivity five homemade bookshelf home theatre speakers.
