Recs for Cheap Integrated Amp?


Hi All,

I currently have a NAD integrated amp which is very old, and one of the channels is no longer working.

I'd like to get a new integrated amp that will power my small Triangle Titus speakers. I have a cheap Sony CD player, nakamichi tape deck, as well as a turn table (which doesn't require a phono input).

I'd really like an amp that takes either spades or banana plugs, as I'm tired of wrestling with speaker wire.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for an amp that's < $200?

Thanks for any and all help!

Consider a 2-channel receiver instead of an integrated for lower cost. Some of the newer used or refurbished units probably sound better than some of the older integrateds that you could get for $200.
I don't have any direct experience with this Emotiva mini amp but the company builds good gear at reasonable prices and it has the five-way binding posts you're looking for. There's also an open-box new one on ebay for $40 less.

If you could find a used one, the Pioneer Elite A-35R is a nice integrated in your price range. Can't remember exactly but I think the speaker connections might be a problem, though.
