Integrated Amp for Silverline Prelude II

Hi All,

Just purchased a pair of Silverline Prelude mkII for a non-audiophile friend. I'd like some recommendations on integrated amplifiers that are a good match for these speakers. I'm open to all suggestions, but I think that she'll be less disposed to tubes (though I hear the PrimaLuna is a good match) and might want a remote (though I was thinking of a Portal Panache). Price is also a consideration. Looking for the best bang for the buck.

Thanks, Peter

I have a pair, have yet to hear anything that they do not sound good with ! Personally I would look for a used Rega Brio, but as I said Preludes are not fussy about either amplification, interconnects or speaker cable.

That said, I would avoid AVR receivers as they won't do justice to the bass a Prelude is capable of.
A truly great speaker.

Used Krell KAV300 or KAV400 could be found within $1500. They're very easy to use and sounding great.

Schubert - that would be a good price point. She would like the remote. Also thinking about a Plinius 8200, but it would probably be too pricey....

Indeed, too pricey and not needed.
