I also recommend the Marantz Reference integrated. Make sure you use a quality PC (like a TWL Digital-American) as I've learned that the full potential of this Marantz is held back by lessor PCs.

The best SS integrated amplifier for Focal 807W Prestige speakers
I'm thinking about buying a new SS Integrated up to 5k. My main speakers are Focal 807W. (92db, very revealing).
Looking for the transparent and detailed sounding Integrated amplifier. Must have Rec Out.
I tried with the following amplifiers but it didn't sound right:
Arcam A19 - Great dynamics, veiled (brushed) highs
Parasound Halo - Great dynamics, veiled highs and no details.
Musical Fidelity M3si / M5si - Not so good dynamics, slightly rolled off highs and no details
NAD C356BEE - Great dynamics, acceptable highs and of course no details. Terrible volume gain.
Naim Nait 5si - Great dynamics but totally not musical.
Speaker cables:
Thank you in advance on your opinions.
