best integrated amp?

[crossways55]

I am having a major revamp of my system (in search of simplicity!) & am looking for ideas for a high quality one box amp (ideally with mm phono stage built in) & speakers to complement (probably floorstanders) which will be fed by a Rega 25.

The grit in the oyster is, as usual, price. What's the budget?

:cheers:

well £3000 tops; I was looking at the new Rega Elicit r, Creek Destiny 2 & Evolution 50a/expected 100a, Roksan K2/BT or Caspian & something like the Tannoy DCTs or perhaps some of Rega's own - system synergy?!?

Audition the Creek Destiny 2 if you can. Much more info needed about your listening room before anyone can answer question regards speakers I feel.

If it was my money, the Elicit R and Kef R500s would be firmly on the demo list.

This one looks quite nice ... http://www.mackenziehifi.com/bel-canto-c5i-integrated-amplifier-2113-p.asp

If you can live with the lack of features, no frills approach and dual mono volume control then take a serious look at Croft Acoustics intergrated, they sound superb and have a great phono stage.

I would seriously consider the new Naim SuperNait 2, though I think it doesn't have a phono input.
