Recs for solid state integrated, $2-3,000 range


Would appreciate recommendations for a solid state integrated amp for use with vintage Tannoy dual concentric 315 drivers in cheviot cabinets. I understand these pair well with tube amps, but they also do well with a solid state and that is what I am looking for at this point. Budget is about $2500-3,000, new or used. The inclusion of a DAC is a plus but not necessary (I understand the downside of no upgrades but I like the idea of one box and no interconnects to a DAC).

I am looking for powerful bass and good soundstage and imaging. I listen to orchestral music, jazz and some rock from a macbook using audirvana and high res files. No phono on the horizon. I would like an amp that I could eventually use with other types of speakers in the future such as harbeths or newer tannoys.

I am considering Bel Canto 5 and 7, Hegel 80 and 200. Have only heard the Hegel so far- loved the sound but it seemed to lack bass authority and power. I may of in this direction but am looking at all options. I want something in a reasonable size and weight - not too big.

My listening room is large - approx 45 feet by 22 feet.

Speaker specs are:
Type: 2 way, single driver loudspeaker system
Frequency Response: 40Hz to 20kHz
Power Handling: 60W
Crossover Frequency: 1000Hz
Impedance: 8Ω
Sensitivity: 89dB

The new Parasound Integrated would be a great choice. I've owned many Parasound products and am always impressed with the sound. My extremely revealing ATC SCM'19's prove how smooth yet powerful my Parasound Halo A21 is.

In any event, many good choices in your generous budget.
Many great ideas here - thank you all very much. I'll keep you posted on what transpires. Trying to listen to as many as I can for a few months before purchasing.
You said you're looking for powerful bass and good soundstaging and imaging.
Look no further than the Nuprime IDA-16.
Look at all Blue Circle integrated amplifiers. I have a Blue Circle DAR, a hybrid amp with one NOS 6SN7 - gorgeous looking, even better sound - so very musical. Hand made by Gilbert Yeung in Ontario.

How about a Marantz Reference integrated?
A used PM15S2b would be nice (I have one) but I think the newer version goes for more than your budget, but, with Black Friday looming on the horizon, who knows?

All the best,
Nonoise
