Recommendation for Integrated Amp with Tone Controls


Hi, I am looking for recommendations for a good integrated amp with tone controls. I want something more attractive than a NAD with enough power to give me some flexibility. Max of $1000 to spend. I am looking for a keeper for the long term.

Sadly enough most audiophile grade amps don't have tone controls but I do find myself missing something if I can't turn the treble up a little bit. Maybe I have some hearing loss from blasting Guns N Roses when I was a teenager. Thanks for the help!

Hi sbank,

I use a Sonos Connect. Not sure how I would digitally alter that source. The other issue would be TV broadcasts. My audio needs to do double duty.

thanks

Thanks chrshanl37! But I thought that only applied to the speakers with built in amps?
What does everyone think of Yamaha integrated amps? Either the AS-801 or AS-1000 are within my budget, have tone controls, and an attractive vintage look. 
Yeah that Vincent is really cool.

I am still considering the NAD series of integrated amps but I can't get past the looks.
