Integrated amp (or components) for a 2.1 setup

[aggieactuary]

I have a pair of Sierra 1 and a Rythmik F12. I'm planning to get a turntable (probably Pro-Ject Debut Carbon), and use the Sierras and F12 dedicated for the turntable.

I haven't been using my entertainment system (tv/movies/cds/PS3). So, I'm going to put some old towers I have back with that system, and I'm leaving my Pioneer AV receiver with that setup.

What are my best options for a 2.1 integrated amp or pre-amp and power amp?

My budget is probably $400, maybe $500 if it is a significantly better price point.

I only need to hook up the turntable to the Sierras and F12. I don't need any other bells or whistles.

It will be set up in a living room with a high ceiling, but it doesn't need to get to high volume. I never turn my music up very loud.

Most of what I see seems to be for a 2.0 set up, but I really want the F12 with the Sierras.

I like the Marantz PM5004 b/c it has a built in phono stage for the turntable. NAD 316BEE or Cambridge 351A are also in the price range. Don't think they have a phono stage, but you can look at the Musical Fidelity V-LPSII if the integrated you decide on doesn't have one.

Do those amps have sub outs?

Sorry, didn't think about the sub, even though you did specify 2.1. No those amps do not have a sub out or pre-outs.

For a separate component suggestion, which is a bit above your budget but relatively close, the only real option I see would be these two models from Emotiva:

Maybe someone can suggest an integrated amp with these features near your price point!

As I understand it, an amp with a pre-out or speaker a/b outs would work, correct?

I just realized that the F12 has a line in and line out.
Since it's active (A370PEQ3 amp), can my signal path look like this?:

turntable->preamp->sub (line in/out)->power amp->Sierras

Not sure which preamp you have in mind.

Another possible integrated option would be the Outlaw Model RR2150:

Has everything needed and more!

I really like Yamaha's sound. I think they are conservative on their power ratings too.
