Opinions on integrateds, thanks...


I'm in the process of upgrading my system in my office. My current set up includes: NAD 712 receiver, Cambridge Audio CD4 CD player, Sonic Frontiers TransDAC, B & W DM601 speakers, Audioquest interconnect and power cords. I'm considering changing the receiver for an integrated and tuner. I've narrowed it down to two contrenders (both approx $700 used): the Classe Audio CAP101 http://www.classeaudio.com/amps/integrat/cap101.htm or the Audio Refinement Complete http://www.phlox-electronique.fr/indexu.htm I haven't had any first experience with the amps, I'm also interested in opinions of like products from other manufacturers . I'd appreciate any and all feedback, thanks, Jeff

I listened to a number of very nice integrateds recently while in the process of upgrading. Listened extensively to Myryad, Krell, Plinius and Densen plus a few others. These are the ones I had it narrowed down to in my pricerange and requirements. The winner IMO, and the one I bought??? Densen B-100. Sounds as good or better than the others, priced right by comparison and is the hands down build quality and appearance winner. Not the easiest amps to locate but worth the search.
