For what it's worth, several years ago The Audio Critic conducted an ABX comparison of a 100w/ch Pioneer receiver (gasp!) and a $2500 power amp. Small, informal panel, but nobody could tell the difference--even though, sighted, they were sure they could tell the two apart. Now I'm not actually endorsing Pioneer receivers here, but the successor to that unit goes for well under your budget, and may serve your purposes very well.
Any good cheap integrated amps?
Does anyone have recommendations for an under-$300 integrated? I'm looking for a system for my office, driving 91db monitors with a NAK MB-10 CDP and CAL Gamma DAC. Thinking about Cambridge or Musical Fidelity, probably used. Suggestions greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
