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!

Raven is beyond interesting. It is superior. Would never try and talk you out of that. But really, you could also just turn the thermostat down.
I have been searching for an amp too.  I would encourage you to check out the Raven or the Linear Tube Audio line of amps. 

I'm guessing the Nagra was a little over 1K, the OP's goal.

Nothing too tempting at 1K on the 'gon right now.
