Best Integrated or Pre/Power Amp Combo for Monitor Audio?

[blackraven]

Go with the GS series over the RS. The GS is much better than the RS from what I have read and the people I talked to here in town that used to sell MA.

I would also go with an amp that has more power. My Monitor Audio S1's soak up the power and even tax my vintage 50wpc technics integrated amp at loud volumes.

The Parasound would be a good match with plenty of power and true XLR to go with that nice Bechmark DAC.

You should also consider a Van Alstine SS amp and preamp or his 90wpc integrated.
