Integrated Amp for Tyler Acoustic Linbrook Monitor

Hello fellow Audiogoners,
I recently sold all my audio gear, so I started all over again from scratch.
I just bought a pair of Tyler Acoustic Linbrook Sig. Monitors. Now, I am looking for a good integrated amp to drive these beauties and get the most out of them.

My budget: $1000-$1500 (new or used)
SS or Tubes is OK

Any recommendations? To those who own these speakers, what are you driven them with?

Thanks a lot in advance!!

I have the Tyler 7U's which are essentially floorstanding Linbrooks.I use a Rogue TempestII Magnum integrated tube amp.They sound wonderful together.You might also look into the Rogue Cronus Magnum integrated.You can usually find both within your budget here in the classifieds.Below is a link to the Rogue Audio website.

I am driving my Tyler Taylo Reference Monitors with a YBA Passion Integre 100 and couldn't be happier. Your Linbrooks are a bit different than the Taylo but would most likely do great with the YBA line. A used YBA Passion Integre is still a bit out of your budget, if you could find an older Integre DT (pre Passion series), I think you'd be very happy. I have no doubt the YBA can get the most out of your Linbrooks. I am continually amazed at how well the YBA drives my Tyler speakers. Do some research on the YBA line. The Audio Refinement Complete line was built by YBA as their "budget" series and has been replaced by the YBA YA-201 integrated, which is in your budget. Personally, I'd wait for an Integre DT to come up, they will probably be in the mid to top end of your budget. If you find one, act fast because they usually go fast. YBA makes some incredibly musical components. I highly recommend you give it a try.
Good luck, Robert
