High power integrated suggestions please.

Hello,

I would like suggestions to look into. The reference is a McIntosh MA6900 which is the only one on my short list.

I've been racking my brain for other integrateds that have what the 6900 offers; sonics, convenience(loudness switch, equalizer), build quality, aesthetics, reliability and the customer support and service Mac is famous for. It also needs to retail for $5k or less.

I love the Mac sound, full bodied and dynamic to these ears. And I would want a cdp from the same company. If I go with the Mac it would be the MCD201.

Any thoughts? Thanks for your time and any suggestions.

Cheers

Have you actually heard the 400xi or are you basing your opinons on previous Krell intergrateds? With the right digital souce (make it the best you can afford) it offers great balance and bloom. Any edge brought into the fold is that from the source player. Even John Wright of Museatex has mentioned to me how different the latest Krell offerings have sounded.
