Best budget integrated choices
Non fancy, audio only, used integrateds are a great option. The older models have excellent sound and built to last. Try Classe CAP-101, CAP-151, etc; Bryston B-60, Krell KAV-300i, various NAD, Hegel, LFD. Tubes, you could try Primaluna (sorry, don't know tube stuff very well). If you need a DAC, try Peachtree Nova series, NAD, Rotel? Good luck |
Hey Stephen been abou 12 years now since we last spoke. I still have your rosewood Rogers LS3/5a's and AB-1 subs. I sold my Sugden A21aL and A21P a few months ago. Made for each other "a match made in heaven" I have taken a slight move in another direction and now use a pair of Tannoy Golds driven with ASL 845 mono's I have put the Rogers up for sale but no firm offer yet. cheers, Ron |
I agree with the Peachtree recommendations. Here is a review on the new 150 http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/716-peachtree-audio-nova150-review/ They also have a 30 guarantee. Dont like it within 30 days send it back. But I have never tried this. I do have one of there iDacs from days of yore and liked it. And when I called about and issue they answered the phone and offered a solution. I may have to try their new Sona Amp some day. There older integrateds can be found on ebay for around $600 |
