Well, I've decided to create a listening room built around the RP-600M II's, and I'm back and forth on the right amp / integrated amp combo... I have the speakers, wiring and stands..
I'll list below several I'm considering, but after a couple weeks of watching reviews, versus videos, and researching everything in my price range, I jussst don't know what to pull the trigger on..
I was first set on Emotiva for preamp/dac and power, but I grew concerned about not having the sound I wanted. Which lead me to Marantz, having that warmer, fuller sound.. but that got pricey quick..
Here's what I'm looking for in this combo :
warm, full, wide sound
80-140 wpc rms
phono stage
dac
class A/B (but considering a parasound D)
bluetooth hd audio built in is a plus
future upgradeable is a plus
here's a list of what I've researched:
audiolab 6000a
audiolab 8300 (bit too pricey)
NAD C368
NAD C388
Marantz PM7000N
Marantz PM8006
Parasound NewClassic 200 Integrated
Rotel A12MKII
Rotel A14MKII
Cambridge Audio CXA81
Some of these have everything I need, and some require me to make 1 or 2 additional purchases.. that being said, it would be great to stay under $1,000.. but I could swing $1,500 on the right one..
I may have completely missed other options, but thank you for reading and providing any insight... thx
