What integrated would you recommend for summer amp?


Hey all, I'm feeling sinful for running my Primaluna Dialogue HP integrated all summer long.  It pumps out modest heat but it does push the A/C to run longer and all that seems wasteful. 

Thing is, I want to keep life simple and within my means right now. So, I'm thinking the budget needs to be ~$1k new/used.  Here's my setup now: 

  • Primaluna integrated
  • Klipsch Forte III loudspeakers
  • Manley Chinook phono pre
  • Technics 1200 GAE turntable
  • Kiseki Purpleheart cartridge
  • Bluesound Node (Tidal mostly)
  • Old Rotel CD player
  • Doge Audio Tube DAC
  • Analysis Plus cabling
  • REL T9i subwoofer
Let the recommendations fly!

+1 with MC, I have the same Primaluna Dialogue HP integrated in my bedroom and even though it does get warm it's not enough to heat up your room so that your AC would have to work extra to cool off the whole house.As for the Raven integrated I would go with the Osprey MK3 instead of the Raven Blackhawk MK3, if that was the route you wanted to go in.
The issue IS heat concentrated in a small place and the extra cost of cooling. Not “wokeness” which is just a derogatory modern political buzzword for something that someone could care less about but others do often for good reason.

Often followed by being called a “snowflake”.
That Quad amplifier from the first response seems perfect for a summer amp.

It liberates you from the chains of caring for tubes, air conditioning, etc. At least for the summer. Varietas delectat so why not?
noromance: @millercarbon Is the Internet big enough to contain you when you get the Raven and the Moabs? ;-)

Have you seen the movie, Lucy?
