Try YBA Integre - very accomplished piece at a fair price (true entry into serious high end). Also, I'd second Sdcampbell's recommendation of the Bryston BP60 - a fine component, from a company that stands behind its products better than just about anybody. On the low/mid end, the Arcam 7 is nice (I owned one) - the power amp section in particular is strong at the price. The preamp section I found weak though - the upgrade to Bryston BP20 blew me away.
