$300 is a tough call but I recently saw some inexpensive tube integrateds on usaudiomart. Other than that, Derek Sanderson's Fleawatt's come up from time to time and they sound great!
Best budget integrated choices
I had a Sugden A21 some years ago but it died an unfortunate death.
I am looking for a budget (defined as as cheap as possible) integrated to power my LS3/5a V2 (a little easier to drive than the original) to not loud levels.
I worked myself into a tizzy of joy reading reviews of the Onkyo A-9010 Integrated Stereo Amplifier to only find out that the UK version is the one voiced (if I can say that) with a nice warm presentation. I am a tube guy at heart but appreciate a warm SS amp.
What else should I be looking at. I am a but apprehensive on used SS after mine died.
Thoughts?
