Hey there,
A friend of mine recently contacted me and asked me to help him find an integrated amplifier for his basement bar. Knowing him, and his speakers (CV VE-15) I think he is looking for something more toward the party end of the spectrum, but still with good sound quality.
Overall looking for a solid state high wattage integrated with Bluetooth capabilities for >$1000.00. Does anyone have suggestions (new or used) that would fit the bill? Thanks a bunch

Most of the current Yamaha integrateds don't have built in Bluetooth but there is an optional plug in that works with (I believe) the whole line. Go have a look at Crutchfield. Pretty good bang for the buck.

The Rotel A12 has 60wpc, phono, a dac and Bluetooth for $1000.
The Yamaha AS801, for about the same price and with similar features, has an available Bluetooth adapter

Yamaha A-S801 would be a good option. I've had one before and thought highly of it. Very capable onboard DAC, as well. Check Accessories4Less for a good deal on a refurbished unit.
You may also check out the Parasound NewClassic200. While I don't have personal experience with it, it seems to be getting high praise around the web.
