Integrated Amp for Monitor Audio RS6

Ok, just to give an update (not sure if anyone cares, but it might be helpful for someone in my same situation).

I went an auditioned a bunch of amps including:

Primare I21
Naim Nait 5i
CA 840A
Arcam A90
Creek 5350

And, the clear winner was the Naim Nait 5i. I was afraid that 50 Watts would not be enough to power my speakers, but after having a home demo, it is plenty. I probably would never have the volume dial past 12 o'clock, which is very loud. The sound with the Naim was controlled, tight and engaging. Every other amp I auditioned was lacking in some department.

So, if you're hesitant to buy this amp because of it's extremely conservative power rating, don't think twice about it.

I actually like the Rega Mira with the RS6s as well... (or even the Brio, which to my ears has plenty of power for them too). I personally use the Creek 5350SE, since my budget was a little lower than yours, and I love it.

Enjoy the Naim!

Try a Plinius 9200. Love mine.

Why tube amps aren't on your list if mind boggling with the S6's.

If you can find one to listen to, I would audition the CEC AMP3300R. CEC is not that well known, however they make well built, great sounding equipment that is a real value. There are some reviews out there on the web.
Good luck and have fun.
