Finally upgrading my amp

My budget is $2500.

My system currently consists of a pair of B&W 630's, an old Denon 50 watt reciever (DRA-550) from the mid 80's,  and a Marantz 5004 cd player.  And a technics 1500c Turntable.

Is integrated the way to go with my budget?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rogue Audio, Schiit and Van Alstine are high value companies offering great price/performance.

Odyssey amps are sonic bargains.

+1 @hilde45 list of good options

buying used greatly increases good options

See if you can find a used Hegel H190. It has plenty of power for your speakers and it even has a DAC and Streamer in it.

All the best.

Thanks everyone!

Does the Hegel H190 have a phono output?
