I think unless you get find a really good used integrated amp in that price range, nothing new will likely make you happy for that $. Maybe a used Pass 25 watt integrated?
Have a bug for a new (to me) integrated
Hello all. I am seeking some opinions on a new to me integrated. Currently I have a Cary SLI80HS powering my beloved Volti Razz speakers. I want to keep the Cary, it really is a great tube amp. It's just that I've never powered my Razz with SS and I am very curious. Also I enjoy rotating gear in and out of my set up, always have.
I have narrowed my pre-owned contenders a bit, I am open to other suggestions too. Trying to stay in the $3 to $4k range. I listen mostly to metal, rock, and Jazz. Room is about 12'x12, not well treated other than a love seat and a couple other pieces of furniture.

Luxman
Accuphase
McIntosh.
I welcome all discussions and suggestions.
Thank you!

Alot use hybrid tube preamp solid state amp.. I have mcintosh 12000 used in tube mode as it has both. Then mcintosh luxman accuphase monoblocks.if you could listen to all of these at audiophile clubs homes or brick and morter stores would be best. Find what you like then look for used. Happy homework. |
Ask your friend Volti for a fine SS amp suggestion (he designed your speakers afterall)...Or maybe he could get in the integrated amp business too perhaps and build a integrated amp for you?

@doyle3433 just to be clear, are you looking for a “warm” SS, or neutral - warm goes best with Volti, but neutral more different than Cary? |
