Compact, medium power speaker amp?

[Dusty Chalk]

The AX-7e is another great integrated. I only heard it with one pair of speakers though.

That was mean. It made me laugh.

I don't see a budget/price/cost mentioned.

Fisher?

I'm going to continue to flout Musical Fidelity because I love them so much:

Nu-Vista M3 or Tri-Vista 300 (both were said to be able to drive my Dynaudio 4 ohm speakers, despite not stating so in the specs).

AudiogoN ForSale: Musical Fidelity A-1001

Other manufacturers that I would recommend:

AudiogoN ForSale: Cambridge Audio Azur 840 A v2 (except, you know, zero feedback)

AudiogoN ForSale: Cambridge Audio Azur 840A v2

AudiogoN ForSale: Marantz Reference PM-KI-pearl

The Channel Islands D-100s look decent, but you'll need a preamp or line controller for volume control.

[Voltron]

Arcam. Keep it British.

[DigiPete]

Onkyo A-5VL is smallish

or the wyred 4 sound stuffs....

Ta guys. I bought an Exposure 2010S off Agon and will give that a shot. Nonetheless, if anyone sees a silver Primare I30 going used anywhere, please holla.

The Monarchy blows the Micro away. I have owned both.

Unless you upgrade the Micro's power supply, then the Monarchy goes into the corner and sulks.

Bump ... I'm going to be using a GS-1 for a preamp so I'm in the market for a small amp.

I'd like to know more about this Monarchy and Micro comparison you both posted about. Morphsci, what were the power supply upgrades for the Micro?

A little OT, but I have a quick question that those here can probably answer for a speaker n00b. Does the F5 have enough juice to power the Harbeths?

The micro system was two being run as monoblocs with a custom external PSU that was bigger by about 50% than both amps combined. I would look at the price but in reality a Monarchy may be a safer bet especially if it is a newer one. The micro's are starting to get a little long-in-the-tooth so may be in for some refurbishing depending upon how hard a life they have led.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for a Monarchy. Looks the Pro version is the one to get.
