I have enjoyed both of my Krell KAV 300i integrateds. They go for around 1100 used and through a variety of Sonus Faber speakers have done a fine job for me. With a Synergistiac Research power cable you can even kick it up a notch when you are ready to.
Any affordable intergrateds known for huge sound?
I know this is speaker/placement dependent as well...but are there any affordable intergrated amps known for huge soundstaging abilities? I am by no means a detail freak...just like big,full,open sound with tight bass...was thinking tubes...but like SS bass...maybe a Jolida hybrid? I like my NAD c350...but it sounds a bit "closed in" at times...any thoughts?
