$100-150 Amp or Integrated?
I am looking for either an integrated amplifier, or an amp with level
controls on the front. It will drive a pair of Tannoy Reveal speakers
(specs at "http://www.tannoy.com/Default.asp?Id=4246"). The source will
be a computer. I am looking for something compact, with passive cooling
(no fan). The tricky part is that I'm on a budget. My goal was to
spend not much more than $300 on speakers and amplification, and I just
spent close to $200 for the speakers. So, I'm looking at the
$100-$150 price range. So far, these are the models I'm considering:
AudioSource Amp Two (80 wpc amp)
Pioneer Elite A-35R (45 wpc integrated)
Rotel receiver/integrated?
Obviously I'm not going to get any of these new for $100-$150, so
I've been looking on ebay. I'd like to stay away from larger
receivers, just because I'd like something compact. Any suggestions?
