Your search for a $4K+ amp to mate with $500/pair speakers seems a bit unusual to me and I’m surprised that this has not been brought up in the replies so far.

Recommendations for a integrated amp
Lately I have been thinking going integrated from separates. I been interested in an integrated amp so I can keep it simpler with less signal chain. Also am looking for one that has a USB input so I can eliminate my interface as a dac. I am mainly looking SS but is not limited to. My budget is around 4k but I am flexible. This will be powering a pair of Triangle BR03 speakers.
BTW, I currently have a Rotel RC-995 preamp and a Acurus A150 amp with a Focusrite interface as a dac using Tidal on my laptop as a source.

@dekay you are soo right. (also, so much for being a good sport and not deviate from the subject |
@dekay That might be true to some degree. What if it were the other way around? It would be unusual to. I see that a huge price diffeerence discourage to some folks but it would be much more relevant to upgrade the front end amplification first to a budget I am comfortable with and upgrade the speakers in the near future when financial permit. I would eventually come to that point. |
