Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget

allaindexe, 

I hear what your saying, but I'm very happy with my speakers.  You might be right about the 3K difference though. The salesman at my local audio store said amp technology has not changed since the mid 80's.

As I mentioned I'm looking to get back into Vinyl and want to get a new turntable.

I'm considering this entry level table : Pro-Ject-Debut-Carbon-EVO.

I think the Denon's phono stage needs to be upgraded.  I'd also would like the option to stream.

TIA

Thanks though.  I really appreciate everyone's help.

Schiit Ragnarak may be good leaving you money for other nicities. I think it’s about $1500. Most have given it good reviews. 60W @ 8ohms should be enough to run your speakers.

The Parasound should sound good with the B&W as well.  More power with a warmer sound.

I couldn’t find the impedance curves for this speaker but I would find out before you go with a tube setup. Some B&W have crazy impedance graphs.

Maybe you could afford a sub with money left over.

untill the late 80's, phono stages in receivers and integrated amp we're pretty good because hifi manufacturers wanted people to buy their products and people would test these with a turntable... so my take is that the denon's phono stage is good enough for now... you could simply buy a cheap turntable and a DAC which has the streaming option...
