Integrated Amp for Girlfriend?


Hi Folks:
I want to get an integrated amp for my girlfriend and would value any advice or recommendations. I hope to spend anywhere from $400 to $800 and am open to new or used stuff. I'm particularly interested in an aesthetically cool looking unit - I am considering the Blue Circle CS integrated, for example. She would be very open to tube designs too(she loves my tube gear). Thanks!

I picked up a used Naim Nait here on Agon for my girlfriend about a year ago. I think they're aesthetically cool looking by virtue of their simplistic front panel. She loves it! It must have worked too..... she's my fiancee now!

Good luck!
I second the Audio Refinement. With only three feet instead of four, it is set apart from the other boxes. Sound is great, and the remote is really nice. I'm very happy with the unit and looks matter to me.
You wanted to get an intergrated amp for your girlfriend? I'd be happy to give you one for her. Is she nice? Krell or Rotel?
If you REALLY love her, get her a YBA Integre Passion (around $4,500) :-)... Seriously, the YBA Integre single transformer may be a good solution if you can find it used...

The Audio refinment is a great deal as well... Even if purchased new.

Happy shopping
