Help GUTB Get a Consumer Amp

[GUTB]

Okay guys.

 

Help me get a consumer-grade integrated amp that can compete with high-end sound. All my preconceptions and biases are out the window. Class D. Vintage. Super cheap. All amps are welcome. There are no price limitation except that it must be in the general consumer product price range. No boutique gear. No gear that can only be heard in dealers and audio shows. Consumer brands only (NAD, Yamaha, Onkyo, etc and so on).

 

I will seriously evaluate the amp in my system, and directly compare it against my Linnenberg Allegros.
