Integrated Amp Choices
ja_kub_sz - I am honored, your first post, welcome! I will definitely check out the Anthem (if I can find one around here?) Years ago, I had a McIntosh MA6600, it was good, but not as musical as my Coda CSIB, but if looks could kill... And, yes of course, pictures will go up for sure, maybe be a while though. Still awaiting permits for my remodel and with Covid, everything County related is going at a snail's pace. |
anotherbob - that M33 has got some pretty rave reviews, but I'm not sure if I am completely ready for a all-in-one box solution. It was even tough for me to go to an integrated amp (ex CSiB). That's why I am quizzing everybody's use of the onboard DACs that come with some of these amps. Maybe if they are upgradeable, that's OK. My last music server was just a simple Roon Nucleus, hooked up via USB to my DAC and that's it. I could stream Tidal, search Roon for any music I so desired and could store my ripped CD's on an internal hard drive, al for $1,300. Worked flawlessly, but yes, it didn't have that slick display of the M33. |
High amp- here is my two cents - I have been running a Krell K300i in my main system for over a year now - the integrated sounds amazing and pushes my Maggie 1.7i with no issues - will handle your speakers without a problem. I have used Krell integrated amps for over twenty years - they all ran / run great, and when service was needed - Krell was always there to back up the product. My Krell K300 i does not have the internal DAC - for streaming I use LUMIN. hope this helps - Happy Listening! |
