I'm a vintage guy thinking about going modern. There, I said it. I really know nothing about the modern offerings as I have never had any interest. However, over the years my vintage set up has become more and more difficult to make space for in my small condo. I recently slipped a pair of Kef Q150's into my set up while my Boston Acoustic A400's were out of commission being re-foamed. Well, I love these little speakers. A lot. And now, I have started down a dark road wondering what else can I swap out to get some space back.
I started looking at an integrated amp and I'm kind of lost as I'm not very familiar with the brands... so I thought you all could provide some good experiences and suggestions to help. So, first off, I am not an audiophile. But, I do want a great listening experience. I do not listen critically, just for enjoyment. Though, I am critical about my enjoyment! My set up is stereo only, I listen to vinyl and I'll stream music while I'm tooling around the space. I currently have a Sansui AU5900 preamping an Onkyo M-504 amp. I love this set up, but it's a pretty stout stack. Is there something new and more compact that will offer similar or better sound quality. Not looking for an all the bells and whistles kind of thing, simple with a premium put on the sound quality. Oh an I'm not rich... so I'll say around $500 since I know most of the suggestions will be just over my budget. But definitely under $800.
Thanks in advance!
