MBL speakers


I'm looking to simplify my setup and have currently MBL 116 with Rowlands Synergy 2i/501/PC1 monoblocks and MBL 1521/1511. If I were to keep the MBL 116 speakers can anyone recommend an integrated amp and one box player that would have similar quality to my setup. Please keep in mind that the speakers need to have quite a fair amount quality power to get the best. The Rowland have 500w and I had a Rowland Concentra II (150w) which really struggled to give its best. Thanks for looking!

I agree with Mapman that separates are the best for this type of the speakers.

If budget is the problem then concentrate on best power amp which could drive your speakers. Rowland 312 or Spectron cetainly would fit the bill and then I would add inexpensive passive preamp. I like TVC but important critera is to find preamp which may or may not do everything you want it to do but "do no harm" i.e. no sins of commission, no coloration. Later on you could easily replace it with higher class preamp.

All The Best
