@scthom Thanks, that's a brand I've heard of, but am not familiar with, but it appears to got the requirements.
Thinking about simplifying to an integrated amp
I've been considering simplifying the system a bit.
Currently I have a PS Audio BHK 250 amp and the BHK preamp, but an integrated is looking like an attractive option.
The speakers are Dynaudio Contour 30i https://dynaudio.com/home-audio/contour-i/contour-30i#product_specifications
I would like a piece that sounds at least as good or better than my current electronics. Power should be around 100 wpc, but I'm not sure if less would do the trick. 2 inputs is plenty as long as one of them is balanced.
Needs to have a remote, naturally.
Also would need a pair of line out jacks for the subs.
Under 10K new.
Sim Audio, Pass, Accuphase are some that come to mind.
Previously I had a Hegel H390 which was very decent, but the PS Audio gear was better, so that company may be out of consideration unless new models have gotten better. I also didn't like paying for the internal DAC that I wasn't using. Also on the no list is Prima Luna. Just ok sound and not reliable as it blew a channel in under 1 year of ownership.
Thanks

There are many good choices. My recommendation is either the Pass 60 or 250. The pass 60 very tuby sounding, while the 250 is a bit more on the neutral side with a hint of warmth. I’ve owned both and still have the pass 250. I also own a Hegal 390, as well as an Accuphase 380. If you go with Accuphase I would recommend at least the 4000. I’m a big fan of Dynaudio. I’ve owned the Heritage but I preferred the sound of the special 40. There are so many choices out there. I have 7 integrated and one mono block setup. |
@dwest1023 Thanks. I'm wondering if 60 wpc would be enough? I'm sure my BHK 250 is just coasting along with these speakers. |
