My house is all wired and ready to go. The iPhone remote was really the missing link in terms of music management, but I am going to buy a pair of B&W 685 speakers today and am looking for a reasonable and hopefully not too large integrated amp to drive them.
Most of my music is in Apple Lossless format and these speakers are really pretty good, but I don't want to spend a bomb on amplification for now.
I don't think that my Apple TVs or Airport Express with Airtunes have an optical out but would that be valuable in the future to use an internal DAC rather than the one bundled in the Apple networking software?
I want the amp to be quiet. I'd like it to support 120-240v (I live in the UK at the moment) though that is not absolutely essential.
I'm hoping that I can get a pretty cheap but decent amp that meets those requirements for now.
Ideas?
