Hi, I am looking for an Integrated amp under $ 500 (New/Used). Any suggestions ? I have had odyssey audio pre & power amps, looking for a cheaper option to drive Duevel Bella luna Diamante. thank you.
I would suggest one of the inexpensive NAD integrateds, my brother used one for awhile and was happy with it. Also Rega's sound quite nice for that price range.
It all depends on what you have to do. I imagine the Duevels like a lot of juice, and if you had to go into an integrated for under $500 - I'd second the Acurus DIA-100
You didn't mention whether tubes or SS but in the tube category the Jolida 102B with the very sweet 6BQ5 (EL 84) tubes is a great integrated providing ~ 20 watts per channel. Also in that same category the Sophia Baby is great if you have fairly effecient speakers.
There is a Acurus DIA 100 MKII on the site now for $425, better than the original one and 2 outputs. some info http://www.klipsch.com/products/discontinued/details/dia-100-mk-ii.aspx
