What is the best compact integrated amp without breaking the bank?
I just picked up some Sonus Faber Cremonas for a 3rd system setup which will hopefully “live” in my living room.
WAF is a major factor for the living room. My wife really likes the look of the McIntosh MHA100 (or MHA150) and approves it because it will fit depth wise on narrower bookshelves.
(Full sized McIntosh integrated amps are out as they are too deep for the space).
I heard the MHA150 powering some full sized towers in the McIntosh room, which was a surprise how well they did.
My concern is if the 50WPC would be up to the task in my larger living room (18’ ceilings).
The MA252 looks interesting, but I’d need to buy a DAC as well since I’m all digital.
I’m hoping to buy used, and I really do like the McIntosh sound. If I could stay around $2000 +\- I’d be happy.
Thoughts/recommendations?
