Class A/B integrated amp
 

Now, looking for a Class A/B integrated amp. Which brands do you recommend. Thank you in advance.

check post #5 in your previous thread ...........

I have a Moon by Simaudio 700i which I think is great!
:respect:

Is there really any other option for an amp other than McIntosh? :scratch2: :smoking: :D

Gryphon Diablo 300
Pass INT-60

Also, Pass offers the INT-250 and INT-150. The INT-60 is 30wpc Class A, then 'slides' into A/B up to 60wpc. The other two are straight A/B of 250wpc & 150wpc.

That said, McIntosh offers a 'bunch' of integrated amps that all operate in A/B.

You don't say what speakers you intend to mate it to, connectivity requirements, need for DAC, nor minimum power output requirement, but if you're looking for at least 175 wpc (8 ohm)/no DAC, I recently considered the PASS INT-250, Moon 700i and Vitus RI-100, and settled on the INT-250. Now that Gryphon is available in the US, I'd toss the Diablo 300 into the mix.

I'll add the NAIM Supernait 3, Luxman 509x and Luxman 590axii. Also the Hegel H390 and H590. The VAC 170i is a wonderful sounding all tube amp. All these amps (and the other amps mentioned above) sound outstanding. But they do sound different from one another.

You didn't state your budget. These amps are a bit pricey...$5000 to $15,000.

Dan, the Roland looks spectacular!

I'd look at the LTA Z10.

:yes:

it's been over two years, I think the Op has gone to the 'dogs' ..........

Very funny! The speakers I have are the Sonus Faber Anniversario. The integrated I am looking at is the Macintosh 2275.

What a list!!! :banana:

Simaudio Moon 700i v2

What is the retail price of this amp?

Looks like it's $14K.

Nice speakers. :thumbsup:
Did you go with the MA2275?

The Krell K-300i looks good. Reviews are consistently positive.

The Krell K300i got fantastic Stereophile review in latest issue.
After 4 years intense audio component research, I’m finally putting together my first high-end mid-fi level audio system trying to get the biggest bang for buck high-end sound. Other high value great reviews integrated are the Cambridge Audio Edge A and the Aesthetix Mimas. A great preamp/amp combo is the Elac Alchemy DDP2/DPA2 designed my Peter Madnick of Constellation Audio fame.

capici.......Welcome to Audio Aficionado. . :wave:

Thanks for helping support the forum right out of the chute.

This. Add the Pass int 250.

capici... Welcome to AA! :wave:

Pass int 60. A gem.

In an effort to keep the thread relatively current, I suppose the Boulder 866 should be added to the list.

and the T+A PA 3100 HV....

The Boulder amp really looks cool. I’ll have to read whether it is purely style or function.

I moved off all tube BAT REX tube gear to Audionet SS gear. The Audionet WATT and SAM are great integrateds.
