Is there a fairly powerful SS integrated out there with a very good DAC? I am driving some Totem Mani-2's 85 db speakers. Trying to stay in the $1250 - $1500 range. Used gear is OK with me. Is the Peachtree Nova enough amp for the Mani-2's?
Tact M2150 if you do not use analog sources would be perfect ... there was one here recently. I am a former owner having moved to the very similar Lyngdorf TDAi 2200 with full room correction
The HEED AUDIO OBELISK Si ( with X-2 even better )does it in a very musical and musculair way. Retail for Si in Europe is 1250 and for the X-2 750. The Dactil 1.2 Dac-card is 299 but it's a great sounding DAC !! It's even possible to upgrade with an extra amp ( The Obelisk PAS retail 990) for true bi-amping. I have heard it play and the Heed Obelisk is one of the few amps that really makes the Mani's sing. But I don't know if they are sold in the US already.
If you can wait til September, Harman Kardon will be releasing their HK 990 in the USA. This integrated has the high-end AD1955 DAC onboard, plus room correction, and is very well thought of in Europe.
