need an integrated amp, only 700$ left..


Dear Philes, I recently purchased a pair of psb Stratus Bronze speakers and Marantz 67se CD. I need and amp/pre-amp or integrated and have 700$ left. What should I buy to make these psb's "sing" Thank you, Bennett

I listened to a Musical Fidelity A2 recently and was struck by its sweetness and musicality. Only 25W, but if that's enough for your speakers, I'd place a WTB ad. Audio Advisor has a bigger Musical Fidelity integrated, the A3, I believe, and your $700 is about right. Again, a WTB ad might help.
I like MF integrated myself. But, be careful in matching up with your speakers! I believe PSB's are little bit on "laid-back" side? Try MF, and return it if not at your liking (audio advisor is good about it)I would also suggest Linn Majik. Also very "musical" and would be good "fit" to PSB's. Both are "tumbs-up" me... Good Luck!
Bennet I just purchased a pair of the bronze speakers and a NAD C317 Integrated...what a fantastic integrated. 80 plus watts per channel and it sounds every bit as good as my old tube high end reference amp and preamp. Becareful of the other small integrated amps -- the bronze need the watts to control the bass. You will not find a better amp period. Call Soundcity at 800-888-5343 extension 709 and ask Ray for a good price. They retail for $750 but you can pick one up for around $600. You will not be sorry, this is one heck of a piece of gear. Enjoy the excellent sound.
