Thanks Martin hing's advice....
My initial plan is to buy int amp to improve playing music from my AV amp... And I do not want to spend too much on that...
Thats why I wanna know what is the minimum charge I should spend to buy an int amp for a fairly acceptable level for playing music....
Of course I will have my new AV amp run in for a while first, if after run in, I still do not accept, I may consider to buy an int amp...
So I just want to have some opinion from post76 chings before I really go to test & listen...

Just like other guys say!! Different guy will have different judgement std. I meet a guy who tell me that those setup below HKD250K is considered to be unaceptable level!! Of course!! I don't agree what he say. We judge the setup based on the sound, not the price. Therefore, u are better to let us yr budget first!! I can tell u that the world of two channel is crazy!! An integrated amp can cost u several thousands dolloars (such as Creek, Tangent, NAD .......) to several ten thousands dollars (Dartzeel, Boulder, ........)
By the way, don't put too much emphasis on amp only. Speaker is another consideration. Let's take MK as an example. Certainly, it's a good speaker for AV, but not for music. A pair of 3k Mordaunt Shot bookshelf can do much much better than low price MK speaker if u just want to listen music!!
honestly ....i really don't know which av amp can play good music ? except krell ,theta, ,cary or mcintosh those very high end bands. no offence
for my own experience , the higher grade av amp can win to have more power to push speaker , but the quality and the musical feeling still can't win stereo ,for example cambridge low grade amp already very musical comapre to japnese av amp .
Einstein hing,
But based on the spec from int amp, the output is just around 60-100W per channel.... is it already enough to push the floorstanding speakers??

兩者計算watt 公式不同....不是1:1
研究-係我終生興趣
黑膠唱盤: Pro-Ject 2Xperience
CAS: CA851N
2ch amp: Luxman L-350AII Class A
9.1 AV system: LG 55, Pioneer BDP & SC-LX86, Velodyne SPL-800i, XPA-5, Energy Veritas V-6.3 x Mirage OS3
If u want to find a AV Amp which can provide good Movie and Music performance, u may need to consider those American made high price AV Amp, such as Lexicon.
There is no perfect. If u want to have good (not perfect), it means that u need to spend huge! Therefore, u are better to learn "compromise".
mightyatoms ching, just share my feeling when I seeking around..
I tried Rotel intergated amp at only 60watt x 2ch to push CM7 in B&W showroom, which is far more better than Onkyo 707, 807,1007and my SR6004 with CM7 . 音樂層次感好出,分析力比AV amp强,60 watt 都好好力,個volume ling左唔夠1/4....果種feel AV amp比唔倒...我聽到耳油都bit左出呢,就咁..我都plan買完AV再買INt...
我都問左B&W個 manager點解,佢既解釋同以上好多ching講大至一樣,所以improve聽歌呢part一定加int amp,別無他選,除非你玩埋前後級,分埋家啦
ching, I suggest u go to B&W showroom play play first~coz u using 683, try with their 2 ch see how it feel~~ B&W 6xx series design is for AV more. U better try in showroom first.
