hoepki Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Looking for ideas on an integrated amp that I can use to run 2 Klipshorns with a belle or lascalla mid plus a sub. Would like to have all the new wifi, bluetooth, phono, etc. plus be able to run an external power amp to the klipshorns through. Any such beast out there for under $1000? Thanks!

Do you mean 3.1 with Belle/La Scala being center channel? Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be along the lines you are suggesting, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pzannucci Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 The Pioneer Elites with D3 amplification would be very good for both music and tv should you choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tromprof Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 When I got my Pioneer with the D3 amps I sold my 300B tube amp. They sound that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No phono preamp on board, which having one is very rare for an AVR but pretty much all the requirements you mentioned in a previous post. I have not owned this unit but do own a mid 2000's flagship AVR T773 and the T175HD pre/pro and but sound fantasic for music and movies. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis8h1g9-nad-t758v3-w-manufacturers-warranty-authorized-dealer-t-758-v3-receivers Not any 3.1 integrated amps out there so a multichannel AVR is the route you need to go.

Pioneer Elite would be my to p choice. Problem is thew AV amps/receivers I've seem lately have NO PHONO INPUTS!! Only "line level" inputs! :-( I have Marantz AV receiver/amp 100WPC with Bluetooth and All the MODERN CELL PHONE bells and whistles and NO PHONO INPUTS! So I can't USE it!! Because I have RECORDS and I with to PLAY THEM! So I use my Technics with the bum speaker outputs but RCA access between it's pre and power amp stages is what I'm trying to use. John Kuthe...

wstrickland1 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 look for an older B&K AVR, like an AVR 307 or 507. You would enjoy that I promise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Thanks Bill. I couldn't find any either but wanted to make sure before heading another direction. Appreciate the suggestion! Have a great Easter! Thanks again!

I just bought a USED McIntosh MC2105 and SHE'S SWEET! Paid "change" over $1000 for 150W RMS per, guaranteed! And it makes my La Scalas SOUND like it too! :-) YUM!! John Kuthe...
