Integrated with balanced inputs under $1K?

Any ideas? I'm powering ASW 100's using an Oppo 105 and a VPI HW-19/Jolida JD 9 as sources.

I've recently parted with a Hegel 160 integrated and AZ Adagio floor standers. Not looking to recreate that sound with lesser components, but I do want to take advantage of the Oppo's balanced outputs.

Many thanks,

I recently (last summer() purchased a Pathos Classic One MK2 here on AG. They can be found for under $1000. The Classic One is a hybrid design that delivers 70wpc into 8 ohms, 130 into 4 ohms. It has a single balanced input, is a hybrid design. A beautiful piece having a wonderful sound. How demanding are your speakers regarding load on an amplifier?
