Best sounding Hybrid Integrated in $2000 range


Downsizing system and want to go with an excellent sounding hybrid integrated of 100--150RMS up to a limit of $2000 Should offer a good phono stage, but not a dealbreaker.

Not sure what speakers will be in this downsized rig, probably a high quality monitor, or small footprint floor stander, e.g. Paradign ImagineT-2, or even a Martin Logan planar. Prefer an amp that is engaging, musical but also dynamic.

It's not the Sphinx but the Cronus he should be looking at. Find one used with KT120s and add and external phono preamp and you've spent $2000. It will kill the Sphinx.
Dhcod, The OP wants a Hybrid,the Cronus is all tube.Why recommend that amp?
I like my Pathos Classic One very much. I think it's 70 wpc, so that might be a little shy of what you're seeking - but it does yeoman's work with my Sonus Faber Cremonas. They pop up used at +/- $1500, so that leaves adequate change from a $2k bill for a nice phono stage. As a bonus, it's also a GREAT looking piece of gear.

Thanks to all who have responded so far. The Rogue Sphinx is high on the list. Though, I have been tempted by Rogue's CM which is supposed to be better. But, then it is a question of rolling tubes to get the right sound. Hopefully the remote is better than the OPTIONAL REMOTE for the Sphinx.

The other concern with the CM is having to bias the tubes. BTW, there was a CM on sale with almost new tubes. Seller claimed those tubes cost him about $500.00 to replace and/or upgrade. Thanks again.
