I would like some feedback on a int. amp




I need some ideas regarding a smallish sized integrated amp. It needs to be around 100 watts @ 8 ohms and offer a remote control. I say the physical size should not be bigger than 17” wide and 5-6” high. The depth isn’t too critical. I will be looking on the used market and have about $1000-1500 to spend. Phono is nice but not essential. I am interested in the follow brands but have never listened to any of them: Musical Fidelity, Vincent, Sim Audio YBA, Naim, NAD master series, Classe or Creek. I have monitor speakers and listen to jazz, American songbook, classical and some blues. The room is 17 X 30 X 8’ and we don’t blast the volume. I like a smooth sound with tight bass and a nice soundstage with front-to-back imaging. What are some of your favorites that I should check out & thanks in advance.

I have speakers that are 89dB efficiency. Now I have Usher V601 but will upgrade when $ is available and I am using a NAD C 720BEE for power with these.
Get Naim Nait 5i. It's not rated at 100 W, but you will not notice. Musical musical musical.
I cannot imagine that you need 100+ watts of power with 89db 8 ohm speakers, if that is an accurate measurement.

You did not say you listen to disco, metal or a lot of rock.

I recommend asking goners to recommend a good quality tube integrated of about 50 watts (or less with a good power supply and transformer) ... something like the Rogue series, the Prima Luna, or the VTL it-85.

What led you to give this list of solid state amps big consideration?
Just another vote for the Pathos Classic One. I'm using two of them with Sonus Faber speakers. A great combo. They are fine integrateds. Highly recommended.
