Best Integrated Amp for Linn Tukans


Second system consisting of a Marantz CC4000ose CD changer, a pair of Tukans, and looking for the best integrated to drive it. In this case, SS or hybrid preferred, remote appreciated but not required (CDP has digital volume control for temporary volume reductions). Looking for good body and warmth in midrange but without losing "presence" and "immediacy". Well, or course I want everything, a good bottom end (to the extent the Tukans will allow), smooth high end, enough power, etc. Trying to suit two sonic tastes (mine and my girlfriends). Want to spend anywhere between $600 and $1000 used. Thanks for your input.

Audio Analogue Puccini. Comes in a remote and SE version also (the SE uses dual transformers and has a higher output).

I used to have a small system that included a Puccini and Ryan Acoustics speakers. I was told by the dealer from whom I bought the Puccini that the Ryan's were very similar sounding to Linn Tukans, and she specifically mentioned that the Puccini and Tukans had excellent synergy.

I think in the $600-1000 range, the Puccini is definitely worth a listen. I think it would work nicely for you. Best of luck!
