It's funny Paul - I thought about this exact amp too! So many great choices! Thanks.

Mike,
Have you thought about the ARC vsi75 ? It fits your budget and you know the ARC SF sound. I'm not sure how tough the mementos are to drive.
I think it is a very sweet integrated, the only design flaw in my mind is the lack of XLR inputs.

I have thought of that....but it won't have enough power....the Mementos need a lot of juice to sound their best.
