I do second the Nuforce idea and think Frenchmon for this idea as I had forgotten that Nuforce makes an integrated amp based on my preamp it is called the IA7 and while being rated a modest 50 watts per channel RMS has a peak power rating of close to 300 watts so the headroom is there to certainly drive most speakers to good sound levels. If interested there are several tests online that give it a good review and they will say themselves that the IA7 will drive almost any speaker to higher sound levels than one should expect almost any integrated to do and with a sound quality that is as good as any product near its price range. I have not heard one of these for myself I am quoting the reviewers but it is built after the p-8 preamp which I do have extensive knowledge and time listening to and I love mine. It has everything I could ask out of a preamp in a package you could fit in a mini system.
