Powerful Integrated Amp for Inefficient Speakers

I've got a nice pair of Linn Sara 9 Isobariks, but they don't seem to be getting enough power from my YBA Integre integrated amp with Cardas Power Cord. The only associated equipment are an original Rega Planet and MIT Terminator 2 bi-wire, which I'm happy with.

This is a second system and I don't plan to use anything other than the Rega CDP. Does anyone have any recommendations for a "musical" integrated amp with some muscle to run my Saras?

Hi- One of the Arcam higher-powered integrateds would really sound good with your system. Even one of the older models used would be a great match. You would keep the classic "British" sound throughout the system, and I bet you'll love it!
Good luck,
Ed

Musical Fidelity A300 - this is a stereophile class 'A' integrated (if you care about that) and is only $1600 new. It is a phenomenal sounding unit and value. It should have plenty of power for your application.

Hi,

May be you should get YBA power amp of similar design/technology and bi-amp. I think this would be a cost-effective solution.
