Hello to all... Want to experiment with mono sound (undecided about CD or vinyl source - maybe both).

Looking for recomendations for a good vintage receiver or integrated amp, which has a mono switch and a phono preamp included:

Have one warmish sounding floor speaker - 3-way, 8 ohm; freq response 24hz-24khz, sensitivity 86db, bi-wireable; rec power 40-200 w/ch...

Budget under $1000; looking for plug & play (no kits)

Suggestions please ...

Thank you for your equipment suggestion...

But you have raised a question I don't know the answer to:
I'm assuming that by looking for a piece of equipment with a Mono switch, I'm thinking that I can take 2 channels (L&R) and channel them into a one channel signal, making it easier to go mono with one speaker. So I'm not sure how to do that when I'd have 2 active (yet the same) channels...

Thank you for your thought provoking input...

...just realized what I’d do: use one channel (RH) to woofer and one channel (LH) to mid and high...

? Would this then give me 2X power in watts/channel as mono (doubling the power of single channel in a weird bi-wire situation)?
