Aloha! I'm building a new budget stereo system and could use some adivce. I live in paradise but at the end of the day it's in the middle of nowhere and I don't have the ability to audition much of anything. I ordered a pair of B&W 685 S2s that I was able to audition while on the mainland. I'm trying to pair an integrated amp with them. The dealer I got the speakers from was pushing the outstanding Parasound halo to me. Sounded great but didn't fit the budget. I'm looking at the PS Audio sprout and the Sony HAPs1. Most of my music is digital but I do have a descent LP collection as well. Any thoughts or help on the amp would be great.
