Integrated amp suggestions

[NorthStar]

-----I'm not sure if Dave (our OP) is still in the house.

That's too bad because he's missing on some great choice suggestions:
truly the state-of-the-art on integrated amps for Sound & with real looks to support them. :b

...And very affordable too.

Yes Bob, i'm an integrated kind of guy, my Chord is for sale, here is my next one and the matching Cd player IF everything goes to plan in my 40 years plus in audio i bought new MAYBE three times and that's because i got the units at a very very good price 95% of the time i buy USED.

I second the Exposure 2010S recoomedation. I use the S2 version in my mini Japan system, and it offer incredible value and performance. A very clear, neutral and detailed Integrated. Very little hints of its SS nature. Highly recoomended!

---Hi Doctor O, and Welcome!

 

[Doctor O]

Thanks Bob!

 

[NorthStar]

Thanks Bob!

-----You're welcome Andrew!

-- Must be pretty good; way over the OP's budget. :b

I use the Simaudio 250i in a second system and i find it very good. good Dynamics and very easy to listen to with good bass and nicely extended highs.

Here is one more from MBL it's the C-51 integrated amplifier available in black or white.

Roy Gregory has just posted his review of the new Rowland Continuum S2 integrated:

While I do not have it in my system, I heard the device at RMAF 2013 quite extensively, where it made wonderful music.

I am a long time Jeff Rowland fanboy BUT sorry no class D for me, i love ALL his old stuff very very much but if i was going to go class D it would be with much cheaper Hypex NC-400 mono blocks in beautiful Kraemer Designs cases - - - - - - DIY for just about 4k and that is for mono blocks.

Hi MrAcoustat, if you are fond of Jeff Rowland's class A/B designs, have a look at the M625 stereo and the M725 monos... All fine music makers as well.
