Need Integrated to pair with Triangle Antal.


Just sold my Bryston 4B Amp and pre. Too much for my Triangle Antal speakers. I want to spend under $1500 for a Integrated(with remote). Also need a CD or CD/SACD player. I can spend about 2K total. I am looking at 'used' for now. Your suggestions will help. Considering Pathos. Any arguements for SET with these speakers?

I've got a Simaudio I-5 LE that I'm about to pair with the Antal. Good detail, open soundstage, a bit more of a close-up presentation than with the Patho's Classic II, which is a few rows back. The i-5 sounds cleaner and clearer than the I-3 that I've been hearing in demo's. All of these sounded "good" though, and its just a matter of preference. The dealer used Simaudio Equinox or AudioAero CDP's, both over 2K and mated well with the above integrateds, and with much more expensive equipment. I'll probably be looking for an Arcam cd73 as I think it's 90% of the above two for 1/3 of the $$.
