LefflerHirthe Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Hi I am new here, but I am reading the forum for a while. I am not audiofile, so I am not that interested in getting too deep into technical side of audio, but I like music, play electric guitar and homercording is my hobby since a decade. So I am just looking for a good sound, but not a reference type of listening (go my monitors for that). Rather fun, vivid, not technical or analytical. I want to use it to listen to dzwonek na telefon I am about to buy Klipsch Heresy IV speakers which I liked. They a very dynamic and life. I demoed them at a retailer with a valve amp. I am looking for and amp + streamer or combined - integrated amp with network possiblibility (Tidal) for max. 1.5k $. I do not want a valve amp, just need something which is convenient to operate (via app or a radio remote control) since the equipment is hidden. I am struglng to find anything like that. I am being told that this is a heresy to connect Heresys to Yamaha RN803D (which from a functionality point of view ticks all the boxes). Can you guys recommend something? One thing to add, as most Klipsches they are pretty btight. The amp should be rather on warm and soft side. Thanks!

MeloManiac Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Welcome to the forum! Definitely a a valve Amp. Do you live in Europe? I ask in order to keep shipping, import and taxes low. In Europe, the Synthesis Soprano falls within budget. Italian. Or look into the Advance Acoustic Paris amps, no valves here but great, integrated streamers. French. The iFi Retro Stereo 50 is amazingly complete too! Find one without the speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ole Dollar Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 A McIntosh MC240 would be a great choice as well. Although a little above your price range, I use my iPad / iPhone with Tidal (MQA) and an iFi DAC to drive it - sound is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panelhead Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 My recommendation is the Lyngdorf TDIA-1120. Does EVERYTHING. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
