Polk LSi9...good integrated amp to drive these???


I'm purchasing a pair of Polk Audio LSi9 speakers and noticed that they need an amp that can drive 4 ohm speakers. Give me your favorite integrated amps for a job like this...both tube and SS under $1,500....thanks!

Hi
I have a pair of lsi9 powered by an Accuphase E-202, The Accuphase did a better job than the nads,Forte stuff, I owned.
The Polk's responded VERY well with a Yamaha ca-800 amp too.(only the 00 Yamaha's are REALLY good)

But the Accuphase is really in its own league IMO. When I first hooked it up, the detail through the Polk's was much better and there was more flesh on the bones of the music,
But most notable were the transients, WOW is the word. I guess you could say the Accuphase "owns" the Polks and that's a good thing. Those Polks seem to only like certain amps, that's been my experience.
