What do you recommend for a solid state for office


I am looking for a solid state integrated for $1500. Obviously it can be used.
Easy to drive two way bookshelves are the speakers. Nearfield listening. Any thoughts are appreciated.

I tried a few pairs of active studio monitors and didn't find the sound quality to be that good. You should be able to get much better sound with separates that cost less.

Have you ever heard one of those things? I used to have one came to the conclusion that it was the single most over rated audio component I've ever heard.
"Zd542, very interesting. I have used Naim Nait 5i for 2 years and I found it to be the single best equipment one can buy for that money. I was driving a pair of Tannoy Turnberry SE speakers with it. Supremely musical!

Maybe it was a good match for your speakers. I got horrible results with mine. At first, I tried it with some really dull sounding speakers that didn't have a lot of detail, and it sounded OK. The second I hooked it up to some detailed speakers, it just fell apart sonically.

About a week ago, I was talking to someone in a different thread, and he pretty much had the same experience I did. But don't think I'm trying to talk you out of keeping yours, or anything. I'm just giving you another example. If you are happy with yours, it would be foolish to get rid of it.
