Integrateds, for $1000.00


Dear Audiophiles, I've saved up $1000 to buy an integrated amp for my psb stratus bronze speakers. Please give me your recommendation and reasons. I'm relying on your honest advice, the salemen only recommend what they have, and I'm conused. Thanking you in advance...Bennett

Buy the A3 Musical Fidelity. Just saw one go on ebay for around $700.I was buying a Chiro C 200 and bought this amp used. I love it. Quiet and clean.The soundstage is wonderful I can't wait to buy the A300. Tracer
Musical Fidelity A3 my first choice. Dual mono design, 85w which sounds even more powerful, full function remote, beautiful styling, solid reliability, Audio Advisor $995 price new. Sound quality is mind boggling for integrated amp. Other choices on short list, Linn Kolector, Cyrus 7, Roksan Caspian, British make best integrated amps for $1000 price new.
You should consider the Audio Refinemant Complete made by YBA. Great sounding unit retail price is $1000.00 I have one for sale for $750.00.
Being tube oriented, I highly recommend either the Jolida 502 or 302. Having owned both, I can say that they are great sounding integrateds and a true value at their pricepoints.
Oh yeah, Anthem makes a great integrated also. And just by chance, there is one on Ebay for $550 right now. No one has bid on it because they don't know any better. :-)
