I know everyone will list their int amp as a recommendation, but I would really try to check out an Atoll IN200 evo (not older models). The IN200 evo follows the same design as the IN300 (very well reviewed by A British Audiophile and the older IN200s did not sound as good / follow the same design). Both the IN200 and IN300 are a full dual mono design with tons of headroom, include a very nice remote and great sounding DAC board options plus it is one of the very, very few to include a tape loop for multiple usages.
I would also recommend Audio Refinement (designed by YBA) and YBA integrated amps. The newer YBA ones are not as good.
Looking for an Amp or Integrated Amp with a solid midrange presence
I bought a pair of Omega Dyna 10 2-way speakers (8 Ohms, 91db sensitivity) that paired beautifully with my old Harman Kardon Twin Powered 930 receiver (1972) and PM 665 vxi integrated, that I'd swap out as the urge hit. Over the past 6 months both units have needed repairs and after investing a fair amount over the years I'm reluctant to get these worked on again. Would anyone care to recommend a good amp that would have that deep musical weight the HK's provided? I tried the Yamaha AS801 but it was much weaker than the 100WPC implied. My listening room is 14' wide by 16" deep. Used for movies and 2 channel stereo only , no home theater . Budget maximum would be $1500 range.
I appreciate everyone's feedback.
