Hi All,
I'm new to the forums (been reading for a few months) and need some suggestions on modern-ish integrated amps. I've been slowly, but surely migrating towards higher end audio.
The current setup:
A/V Receiver - Yamaha RX-V1300
Phono Preamp - TCC TC-750
Turntable - Audio Technica LP120 /w Sure M97x
Fronts A - Energy C-5
Fronts B (in Kitchen) - Polk RTi3
Center - Energy CC-1
Sub - Energy s10.2
I essentially want to replace the Yamaha with something more musical at the sacrifice of the Center channel. My split between music and movies is probably 70/30.
Requirements:
I've gone through the stickies in this forum and done some of my own research on integrated amps. None of the ones below have digital inputs. Is there any way around this?

I've seen some multichannel integrated amps with tons of features but they are all $1K plus.
Do you guys have any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
