Hello all. I mostly listen to 2 channel stereo (Classical, Jazz and some rock). I need to drive my new Polk R700 speakers. My wants in an integrated amp or AVR are:
1. Dirac Live built in
2. Pre Outs to add external amp for more power
3. WiFi streaming (I only play music through Tidal, Apple Music and Spotify)
4. Enough power to drive my Polk R700s. Should have at least 100w into 8ohms
5. HDMI eArc
5. Price $1,500 - 2,000
I was looking initially at the Marantz 40N, but doesn't have enough power. I was leaning towards an AVR like the Marantz Cinema 50, which will be getting Dirac in March, or the Integra DRX 3.4. I was also looking at the Onkyo RZ50, but can't find it in stock where I am.
I looked at the Roksan Attessa Steaming Amp, but it doesn't have enough power and no Dirac.
Any suggestions?
