Best Integrated for JM Labs Micro Utopia BE


Downsizing and starting fresh. All the big boxes, wires, conditioners and cables going downstairs to the new dedicated theater/listening room. Wife loves me now. Going back to the simple life with a new pair of JM Micro's and an Esoteric Uni-player. What is the best integrated to drive these little guys? My dealer is suggesting a JR Concerto, but is that too much amp given their efficiency?

Thanks in advance!

I'm driving my Micro Utopia Be's with a pair of JRDG 201 monoblocks. I don't think its overkill at all. I play my music pretty loud at times and the Utopia's can rock and never sound strained. I believe that more drivers are blown because of amps clipping more than over heated voice coils.

You can't go wrong with the Rowland/JM Lab combo. Make sure you get the Utopia Stands. The speakers were voiced with those stands.
Thank you for your quick responses. Haven't heard of DK Design and I don't think it is available in my area (Tokyo). Will look into the VTL's... Island, I'm glad to hear your feedback. Those mono's are also rated at 250 wpc? Also, yes I have ordered the stands. I was concerned because I read somewhere that JM recommends up to 150 wpc...

Thanks again,
Michael
I believe the Micros are voiced with YBA amps, Mcintosh has a nice integrated too at under 2000.00 in the MA6500. Lots of nice choices with the Micros.
JM Lab works great with McIntosh (that is what I have). The 6500 is great but so is the 6900. Don't worry about having too much power. Arthur
If you can afford the Chapter Audio Precis,I would recommend it whole hardedly.The looks are to die for and the sound is even better.It will have a review this year in The Absolute Sound.It is a killer.
