Integrated Amplifier Recommendations Needed
I have a pair of JBL L112 speakers in excellent condition, but I would like an integrated amplifier to drive them. The JBLs are fairly efficient, 89 dB @ 1 W/1 M, and the maximum recommended amplifier power is 300 watts. My room is 20X25 with 10-foot ceilings.
100 wpc would be adequate; what do you all recommend? I want to stay under $2000, and used equipment is fine.
I listen to 80% jazz, from small groups to big bands. The rest mixes classical, classic rock, Steely Dan, etc.
Best,

+1 for Parasound. I recently upgraded my TV/family room system with a lightly used Parasound Halo integrated purchased here on a-gon under $1500. I have an older pair of PSB Synchrony Ones in a very large room and the change has made a significant impact on the overall sound. It is a tough room acoustically speaking, yet the improvement was immediately noticeable. Greater bass impact and articulation and a seamless soundstage that extends beyond the width of the speakers. I’ve only had it for two weeks but I am delighted. |
The Yamaha A-S2100 recommended by @helomech is a solid candidate. The Yamaha integrated has a very quiet and excellent phono stage if you run a turntable. No built in DAC if you want/need that feature. |
