As mentioned previously your best bet may be going with a home theatre receiver. Granted you won't need all the channels of amplification but they can meet your other requirements. Yamaha RXA3070 fits the bill on just about everything you're looking for: Ethernet, wifi, xlr input, 165 wpc, phono input, $1,999 new, though HT receiver prices tend to be dirt cheap on the used market. As mentioned in your description if you have a bluray/DVD player you have the option of connecting via hdmi. You can program the extra channels to bi-amp speakers or have multiple stereo zones if needed. I used a Yamaha rxa 3030 for stereo when I was inbetween integrated amp purchases for half a year and was really surprised at the sound quality.
looking for a new pre/amp or integrated amp
I am new here, and this is my first post. I am looking for either a pre/amp or integrated amp, specifically for listening to music. Here is what I'd like the solution to have:
- Ethernet jack (for connecting to my home computer to play music files of CD's I've ripped)
- 2 channel (this is not going to be a surround sound setup)
- Wifi (I'd like to play Spotify)
- XLR inputs (for the CD/DVD/Blu ray player) - I'm not sure this is critical, as I think optical digital might be just as good.
- 90-140Watts
- Phono input
- Price range: $1000-2000
