Djones, we sell the Paradigm Prestige series plus many great intergrated amplifiers.
Personally sonically we don’t like the M32 with the Prestige as the M32’s direct digital amplifier is very clean with great bass control but we prefer a warmer sounding amp. The M32 is great with warmer loudspeakers, the Presitge are very clean and detailed but laid back they are not, so this combo could be construed as too much of a good thing.
Also we are puzzled at not liking the Blue sound app as most people find it terrific.
We also sell the Antem STR and Naim Uniti series, the Micromega
The Anthem STR is very powerful but too our ears lacks a bit of warmth that we would like to see with this pairing. Also the STR requires a separate streamer which people may or may not want to add an additional chaissis and cabling.
The Naim Nova and Star are fantastic but may not have enough power for you and are both more expensive.
That leads us to our favorite for the money the Micromega M100 which is 100 watts 8 ohm 150 watts 4 ohm.
The Micromega is a class A/B amplifier and the sound is warm and punchy. The Dac is fantastic, and you also have a built in Vtuner, USB connnectivity, a built in streamer and airplay as well.
Micromega is adding built in Tidal and Roon capability I have to check for our firmware update but that is what is either being promised or available now.
The Micromega is a stunning $4,500.00 integraed that has one of the best feature sets of anything on the market:
1: Clean warm punchy tonality
2: Built in Dac that plays high resolution files including DSD
3: Built in Streamer
4: Bulit in Phono
5: Built in Headphone amp
6: Room correction option
7: Analog and Digital Inputs
8: Built in steaming apps
9: Stunning looks
Fantastic match with the Prestige series, the Hegel stuff is great but they are not as warm so the Hegel although an excellent choice would not offer the same degree of musicality that the pairing with the Micromega would.
