Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Integrated Amp Recommendations

Hello. I am about to place an order for a pair of M22ti's. I only have an old Sony receiver in mediocre condition, and I am looking to upgrade to a quality stereo integrated amplifier (not A/V) to compliment the speakers. I live in a small Manhattan studio, the dimensions of which are 12x15. I listen to rougher varieties of rock and jazz and generally prefer my music on the edgey side. Among the new integrated amps from Rotel, NAD, and Denon, or from any other quality manufacturer, could someone recommend one that performs particularly well with the M22ti's? With an apartment of the size of mine, should I go with a 40 watt per channel amp, or with something more powerful? I would like to spend between $300 and $1000 on the amp. I appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Todd Rogers
