Help with budget amp.

[VipinS]

Hello everyone ! I am new to this audiophile journey so please forgive my lack of knowledge and bear with me. Initially I was looking to buy a LG soundbar for my room specifically sq75tr for below 30k INR. Since my use case would be 70:30 for music and movie so decided to go to bookshelf speakers to experience the Hifi music. Searched a lot and watched a lot of reviews and decided on Elac debut 3.0 db6.3 speakers for around 40k . I have gathered that it’s one of the best speakers under 500$. Now I need an Integrated amplifier/AVR for it. Talked to some dealer and he convinced me that an AVR can never match the true music quality that comes out of an Integrated amplifier. So searched my options and it was overwhelming. The whole internet is filled with many great review for fosi, Denon , wiim , etc. Can’t figure out which amp would be good enough to drive these speakers to their full potential. My budget is exhausted in the bookshelf only so I would be more comfortable in 10k to 15k INR range. But the amps like fosi audio or under that budget can’t do justice with these speakers or amp like Denon pm-600e , wiim are miles better than I can go maximum upto 40k for the Amplifier. Though I would like to stick within my initial budget of upto 15k INR. Please help suggesting me a good amplifier that would pair well with DB6.3.
Thank you in advance.

Just listening to you, I'd say don't let a head full of review commentary push you past sane budget choices in search of whatever someone else deems "justice". You will surely receive contrary advice to this, but I'd say get a cheap decent class D setup until you _know_ what you want and why (or, if you already know, until you have the money w/o worry).

If your model of DB63 has the impedance like that in the 2k24 review at Erin's, it should not be a difficult match for almost any solid-state amplifier.

The only thing that matters is if you are having fun listening to your music FWIW.

Thank you for your reply.
I don’t understand the science behind audio much. It would be very helpful if you could suggest me something from class D amp available in India that comes with a Bluetooth/AirPlay and a sub out and can do justice with these speakers.
Any particular model that you would highly recommend from you experience?

Unfortunately, no. And again, my comment is likely to be contrary to most/many here but was expressed as a sanity-check to make sure you are comfortable with your own direction before you spend money. That's my main message--if you don't know, don't rush and keep reading. There will be good suggestions here (or already here if you search). My class D comment was to stay cheap and get you something if you have nothing. The more features you want in an integrated amp, the choices will thin-out and arguably make the case to not seek the cheapest mini-amps that'll get something.
