Integrated amp, looking for suggestions & comments


I'm looking for an integrated amp to power my Klipsch Chorus II's (101db sensitivity) and KLF-20's (99db sensitivity). I will be using a EAD CD-2000 as the source. My Klipsch speakers have rework crossovers, so they are not at all bright.

Priorities for an integrated amp:
- Warm like have a tube amp
- Price below $500 (buying used)
- Best performance in that price range

I'm considering the Arcam A65+ and the Audio Refinement Complete and any other that would better these two.

Thanks,
Mike

Vman, you can't wait fifteen seconds for a Jolida 302B integrated to warm up? C,mon man. I use this for a second system and it has been set and forget and trouble free. Wonderfully warm and airy like a good tube amp should sound. Not expensive. Check one out.
Surfgod,

I don't want to wait for the tubes to warm up and I'm not very knowledgable about tube gear.

I feel a little more comfortable going with a decent SS amp.
Warm like a tube amp ? why not get a tube amp. Jolita, Cayin, a used Prima Luna etc.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

Phasecorrect & Eril, what difference does it make to be in class a versus ab?
A nice match would be an older Musical fidelity class a amp...I owned one for awhile and loved it...moved to less efficient speakers so had to change...
Jungson JA 88D. $400 new. Very minimalist (2 single ended and one balanced input), built like a tank (more like a $1500 tank), good remote. Great performance for the money. On the warm side of neutral with a "mid-hall" perspective.
