Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget

Your speakers are worth around $ 500 so it’s overkill to match it with a 3K amp, integrated or not ... your Denon is probably a good match for them ... you can get another amp but I doubt you’ll hear a 3K difference because of your speaker’s limit ... and if you do get another amp, I’m pretty sure that you’ll want to change your speakers too ... and since it makes more sense to match an amp to a speaker then vice versa, I suggest you start looking for another pair of speakers and only then try to get a better amp ... speakers’ choice is very important because you buit your system around it... my 2¢...

allaindexe, 

I hear what your saying, but I'm very happy with my speakers.  You might be right about the 3K difference though. The salesman at my local audio store said amp technology has not changed since the mid 80's.

As I mentioned I'm looking to get back into Vinyl and want to get a new turntable.

I'm considering this entry level table : Pro-Ject-Debut-Carbon-EVO.

I think the Denon's phono stage needs to be upgraded.  I'd also would like the option to stream.

TIA

Thanks though.  I really appreciate everyone's help.

Schiit Ragnarak may be good leaving you money for other nicities. I think it’s about $1500. Most have given it good reviews. 60W @ 8ohms should be enough to run your speakers.

The Parasound should sound good with the B&W as well.  More power with a warmer sound.

I couldn’t find the impedance curves for this speaker but I would find out before you go with a tube setup. Some B&W have crazy impedance graphs.

Maybe you could afford a sub with money left over.
