There’s a Rega Brio R here for $500 and a nice pair of slim tower Silverline Preludes at US Audio Mart for $850 (although you might be able to get this down a bit). The Brio puts out a strong 50W, and the Preludes are a pretty easy load so they should pair well. This still leaves $150 for some decent cables/interconnects. Excellent all-around performance and attractive with a small footprint, which I’d think a girl especially would appreciate. She’ll love it. Heck, I'd love it! Best of luck.
What are the best entry level integrated amps and speakers?
My daughter just got a new place and wants to upgrade her Best Buy based stereo system. She is only interested in two channel stereo (good for her). I told her if you're willing to get used equipment of high quality you'll get a better system like I did (Krell, Ayre, Revel). We are looking for an integrated amp and speakers. The amp should put out 75-100 watts. She has enough room for floor standing speakers or something smaller. So far I have researched NAD and Outlaw for amps and PSB for speakers. What would you recommend? I think the budget will be $1,000-1,500.
