Just wanted to add another vote for the Kinki EX-M1 integrated. I have the first generation that only set me back about $2200 US. One of the best values of my 40+ years as a high end enthusiast. It looks like this original model is still available for $2400 (as opposed to the "Plus" model for $2900). You can find my comments/review of this amp posted at:
