All in One amp up to $7k


Hi, needed some advice.
Looking for an all in one amplifier- including streaming. Had earlier settled on and bought a Hegel 590 - but could not ship it to Dubai from the US, sold it to a friend of mine. 

Any recommendations? In the $5k-$7k range? At least 150w into 8 Ohms.

I had looked at Gold Note- but not completely sure. PS Audio Stellar Strata MK2 fits the bill though not sure how good it is. 

Also though I didn’t listen to the Hegel H590 I have this feeling that it would have been awesome.

@russ69 and @fastfreight hear you on separates. that is what I have now. I have 2 amps- a Vincent SV200, small footprint, belies the ratings, hybrid. It just rocks my 2 speakers. The other is a Gato AMP 150 AE. Again an excellent amp and it should be for the price it commands. I have DMP A6 working as a streamer only and have 2 DACS- a MHDT Lab Orchid (tube based) and a Topping D70 Pro Octo. That's a lot of gear and while I love each piece just want to reduce the amount of stuff lying around. I recently sold a Naim Uniti Atom- and now I think maybe I should not have.

@chenry thank you for the suggestion I never knew till your post that JBL made amps. Love all the tech in it, but I am not particularly fond of vintage looks. Will look at Arcam.

@drrsutliff interesting recommendation. they have been causing a rage recently on the net. Will surely look this up.

@dokosan have always admired Simaudio. Listened to their inception story on a podcast last and this year and have always wanted to listen. will keep a look out for the 2 things that you mention though it will be one piece more than I need.
