Upgrading integrated...Vinnie Rossi Lio, Primaluna Dialogue, Used Moon?


Hi Everyone,

Noodling a new integrated.  Currently I have Monitor Audio Gold 200s, a Primaluna Prologue Premium, Rega Planar 3 w/ Ortofon Blue, and Bluesound streamer/DAC.  I'm not an "audiophile" and while I appreciate all the lingo, enjoy-ability and musicality are high on the list, along with reliability. 

Also, a pair of LS50s might get some airtime on this system, and eventually tempted to get a high end pair of bookshelves, like KEF Reference 1, Salk Veracity HT-1, or something Sonus Faber. 

Lastly, I listen to a wide range of music, including hip-hop, rock, classical, and jazz.  The room is also somewhat glassy :/.

Thanks and cheers!

@helomech Yamaha definitely has its following. Have you heard Rotel RA-1570 or older Rotel RX-1052? Both sounded great with B&W 704s that are laying around, but made the MA Gold 200s sound too clinical.

Perhaps overgeneralizing but the somewhat similar genealogy with Yamaha makes me wonder...and speaking of Japan, ATC19s are also a tempting offering.
