Best Budget Integrated Hands down


I have sorted through over 1000 threads on this site trying to figure out what is the crème de la crème of budget integrated amps (under $1000.) I have come up with a pretty good list of amps that have great things to say about all of them. I have heard plenty of good stuff, are there any amps on this list that have big pitfalls? If any people have done comparisons on these or have a suggestion please let me know.
• Audio Analogue Puccini SE
• Plinius 8100
• Bryston B-60
• Unison Unico
• Blue Circle CS
• Classe CAP-100
• Musical Fidelity A300
• Audio Refinement Complete
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I'm quite happy with my Bryston B60 integrated, however, if I were to "trade up", I would probably either consider the Creek 5350SE or the Plinius 8150...I think that it also depends on what speakers you plan on driving...I am using B&W CDM1nt's and am happy...who knows...after 2+ years of having the Bryston, I may find that I am accustomed to the sound and find that the conditioning will affect my preference and I may not like the "upgrade"

just my 2c
