Chinese integrated for around $1k

WOW, Those are nice system. Since your speaker are rated 50-200 watt. You be better off purchase Shengya A-206mk with 200 watt @ 8 ohm. Audio technology is very simple. You just have to match (or more) of the power handling capacity. You will enjoy the sound of music for life.

Maybe consider the Dussun V8i, I've had a few of them through here over the years, sounds decent, and are very well made.

Good Listening

If I were forced to choose, I would get the Dussun V6i. My primary reason would be the 150 watt at 8 ohm / 300 watt at 4 ohm rating. If the specs are accurate this is a high current amplifier. That is the same power rating as the Krell S-300i. Don't worry about having too much power as that isn't the issue to be concerned with. The pseudo class A claim seems a bit fishy however. It either is or is not.

I have a Yaqin MC-30L tube amplifier that I am extremely happy with.

Chinese amps can represent a lot of bang for the buck. Buyer should keep in mind should there be a problem you may be up the cheek, Enter brand like the Quest for Sound-SQ 88. Made in China, specifications made to Steve Monte,s desire.,,This is a very well made three input tube based integrated amp. This is solid great sounding unit built too last. but important backed by an here the the states brick and mortar store, That may service your prized gear here and not far of shore, Is a current model and make to checked out the Quest for Sound web page.

I must confess to having one some fews years and it provide great music with flawless operation and great looks for a true pride of ownership. Moving up the now presents an opportunity for someone to enjoy it further. Please email for particulars Happy hunting,
