I'm looking to buy an integrated amp in the $1000-2000 range to replace my Sony ES receiver. I finally have a little bit of time next week to go listen to amps amd was hoping people could suggest ones to check out or to avoid. Currently on my list are:Creek 4330SE
Creek 5350
Bryston B-60
Rega (their 60w one, I can't remember it's name)
Musical Fidelity A3 Integrated (will have to demo from AA)
Plinius 8100 (formerly called the 2100i)Also thinking of listening to one of the Rotel pre/power combos in this range.
What else should I take a look at?
The rest of my system is:
CD: Rega Planet
Speakers: Monitor Audio Silver 5i
Interconnects: DIY shielded twisted pair
Speaker Cables: cheap 12 gauge Monster cables for now (looking to upgrade soon)
Others: Sony MDS-930 minidisk recorder-Jon
