Smooth sounding integrated


I’m looking for a smooth sounding solid state integrated amp that is not muffled sounding for less the $1000. Is there anything like this? Years ago I had a Denon stereo receiver that sounded pleasant for tv and movies in our lively family room. A lot has changed since then and would like to try going down this road again, but with a better integrated amp for the family room.

Thought about Rega Brio. Is 50wpc enough for 18x22x9h room w my speakers. Yamaha looks interesting. Is it smooth or bright and dynamic.
You might be able to find a second hand Peachtree Nova 150 or 300 for around your budget.  It should match up well with your speakers.  Plenty of power, a great DAC, a decent phono stage, and home theater bypass.
Marantz PM8005 used or 8006 new.  Smooth, detailed, dynamic, excellent build quality.  Would match up well with your Silver 6.
