Anyway, I was thinking about how I am going to be pretty much out of money after getting the speakers so I though about the NAD 150W integrated amp. 1500 or so would be about the most I want to spend on an amp. Over the years I have had NAD products and I always liked them. Does anyone have any other ideas for a suitable planar amp in that range?

Phono board not a must since I am outboard with the phono pre.

Well, I've driven MMGs with slightly older NAD C260 power amp and was initially please but have heard several better power amps since.

Currently I'm using a Class D Audio SDS series amp and a Jolida passive preamp with excellent results. Some thing like these would be a sound option, IMO ...

Jolida JD50A passive preamp, $300:



Class D Audio SDS-250C power amplfier, $600:



This combo will easily bring you into Krell territory for <$1000.
