Budget integrated amps for garage system

I use a Winsome Mouse as the amp for my desktop/portable system. It goes plenty loud with 88 dB Visonik David 5000i speakers. Price is $369 for an assembled unit or $319 for a kit. It's a good-sounding design, transparent enough to let a high-res source show what it can do, and it should work fine with either the PSBs or the Paradigms you're considering.

Other than that, I like the smaller BEE NAD amps and the 316 should do fine too.

I agree with Valinar, speakers are most important for playing loud, as they determine this to a much greater degree than the amp. I would consider something like Klipsch outdoor speakers with the NAD. Some of these speakers have a sensitivity of 95db, and using the 40W NAD should work well. You would need 160W with the PSB's or Mini Monitor's (89db) to get the same loudness, and even more on Atom's (87db). Not to mention the outdoor speakers will have more ability to withstand the garage environment. Maybe the amp could be located inside, and wired to the garage. Actually think it should sound good, giving most of the credit to the NAD, and yes the other speakers would sound better, but at lower volume. Just think about the conditions for listening.

How about a used Arcam integrated (or receiver if you want radio)? Gear with which you can use headphones may be a good option if you are listening in a noisy environment.

Iv'e used the Paradigms Mini's in several situation's and have found them to be great sounding , well built and a great bang for the buck . They will need some real power to play loud , think about 100wpc.
