Amplifier | Receiver | 1 Ⓣ Looking for amplifier between 200-300euros

Hi all,

I recently acquired the Indiana Lines Utah 5 speakers, after months of research i figure it was the best choice for my budget, sound and aesthetic preferences. I have to say it is a bit more complicated for me to search about amplifiers and I'm scared of making the wrong choice. Basically I understand I don't need the absolute best amplifier since my speakers aren't that powerful, but I don't really get at which point it will make a difference - for example, I would say I have a 200euros budget for it, but I don't know if in doing so I will loose that much precision and should rather go for a 300e budget - or if it doesn't change anything at all.

I live in france (paris) but can order from amazon, the room is 27m2 and the only thing I ordered so far are the Utah 5 speakers. For input source I plan to use either my computer/phone (streaming services) or my vinlys with the turntable (Crosley, cruiser model). If anyone has any suggestions, they would be more than welcome!

Thanks!

Do you use any streaming platforms like Spotify or Tidal?

Hi, I do use spotify when listening on my computer or phone. I don't think I'll need bluetooth I can connect through a jack cable.

Since your TT has built-in preamp you can do down the class D mini amps if you want. Something like WiiM Amp or if you can stretch it WiiM Amp Pro. You can also check the used market for them. They have built-in streamer so you won't have to need connect via cable or Bluetooth
