mid to higher hegel luxman or even upper naim should work well too

Can a solid state integrated amp pair well with Focal 1038Be?
Some of the Class A amps mentioned are very good I had the ATC SIA2 for a while and it is a very good amp. Depending on the amount of inputs you need look into the Digital Amplifier Companies (DAC) offerings. I'm currently using the 2 Cherry with their DAC DAC2 HSV (the combo fits in your budget) on my Charney Audio horns with superb results. Very smooth non-fatiguing detail in the highs, engaging mids, and deep controlled bass. A very well balanced presentation. DAC offers a 30 day return policy, so you can do an in home demo and only be out the shipping both ways. Hope you find what your searching for. Chris https://www.cherryamp.com/ |
Yes for sure the Marantz KI ruby integrsted amp is a tour de force this sounds like a good hybrid integrated tubes,a Solid state but in fact The late great Ken Isawada last effort , it uses a dual mono Ncore amplifiers All a Copper isolation from there tons of custom Analog outputs class A preamp section ,microprocessor controlled out of the signal path 100wpc 8 ohms actually 165, and 270 into 4 ohms tons of control and dynamics $4 k and can be bought for under $3500 |
