Try a used Parasound integrated in the used market.
Time for the Dynaco to go, Affordable Integrated or Separates for Wilson's Under $2.5K?
Hi Everyone can it be done?, At the recommendation of a few nice members here, I decided to head in a different direction and find Pre-Owned separates or a nice integrated for my Wilson Audio Watt3/Puppy 2’s. The room is 20x25 but I stit close and do not play loud, I live in a Condo. I am replacing Dynaco MK3’s and like a Musical non-Analytical sound. I am like the idea of VTL, Mcintosh, Rogue, Hegel, and AR. But open to anything. The problem is my budget. How the heck am I going to make Wilson’s sing with so little cabbage. I would like to spend up to $1,000 for the Pre and $2,000 for the Amp. The less the better. Or under $2,000 for an integrated. I have no idea why I want to spend less on an integrated. HELP, I can’t decide. The members here are awesome! Kind and willing to help. All your experience is greatly appreciated!! John

If you are ok with the sound of tubes, a Used Rogue Cronus Magnum integrated can be found for under $2,000. Not easy to find used and you have to be willing to check tubes and replace, if necessary, and adjust bias. Perhaps there’s a Rogue dealer near you who has one you can demo with your speakers in your room. I am considering a new one having auditioned with Totem Sky towers. Excellent, smooth and musical sound. Plenty of power. |
How about a Rogue Audio Spinx V3? https://www.overtureav.com/brands/audio/integrated-amplifiers/rogue-audio-integrated-amplifiers/rogue-audio-sphinx-v3-integrated-amp |
