So this is my first venture into the audio market, and I would really appreciate some advice/ideas on buying an integrated amp.
I managed to get my hands on my Dad's Klipsch Cornwalls from somewhere around 1970, but right now they're being downright insulted by the awful Sony stereo reciever he scraped up from some bargain bin he found in the 80s.
I only need a few inputs, phono would be nice but not a requirement. Odds are I won't need any more than a couple channels as I'm a poor college student and pulling together the $400 max for an amplifier is already tough. Just from looking around this forum and reviews and stuff, I've come up with a few amps that may cut it, but as I'm kinda new to all this I would really appreciate any input:

Cambridge Audio Azur 340A http://www.cambridgeaudio.com/summary.php?PID=11&Title=Summary
