Shopping for an integrated amp

I want to simplify my system a little, largely at my wife's request, so am thinking of switching to an integrated to replace my current separates (Parasound Halo A23 and Meridian 562v w/DAC, powering ProAc Response 1 SC speakers and a very old AudioPro subwoofer). Would like for this to be an actual upgrade or at the very least sideways move. However, the dizzying array of choices has me somewhat paralyzed. I've heard and been impressed by Musical Fidelity's M6i, which hits the ceiling of my price-range. Wasn't overwhelmed by Anthem's 225 Integrated, but didn't hear it with my speakers. Can't audition NAD M3 because even the local NAD dealers won't carry it--they don't seem to like that product line. Would be grateful for opinions.

Check out this equipment and see if it might work for you. You can buy directly from the website or have the kit built to your specifications. Digitalpete (Pete Fulton) is an authorized AN kit builder and repair technician. While I can't speak to the AN integrated amplifier, I can tell you that I purchased the L3 preamp and had Pete build it. I upgraded the volume control component and had him use Dueland caps in the line stage. Simply excellent! Pete's phone number for questions: 240-441-7846
