Best Intergrated Amp. Under 1k with "PRAT"

For a 2nd system, it will be driving Maggie 1.6. Listen mainly to Jazz at moderate levels, and Pace, Rhythm, Acceleration and Timing are improtant to my way of listening.

I want to stay under 1k, the further under the better. I have had good luck with the Classe CAP-80 and CAP-100 in the past, and was not as impressed with a Plinius I listened to .

Thanks

I was very impressed with the Naim Nait 5i, and think you'll find it worth checking out. Certainly the attributes you cite are considered its strong points by several reviewers. I'm going in for a closer listen with known music and speakers...

If you are looking for "PRAT", I would suggest a Naim Integrated. Naim always is great with Pace and Rhythm and if you aren't going to listen too loud, a Nait 3 or 5 should be able to power the Maggies. Hope this helps.

Yeah, I just don't listen loud...I have read good things about the Naim...but never heard one. Do you know if they use all discrete circuits or use op-amps?

Thanks
