Integrated that blew you away

@noodlyarm Love the Krell K300i, just can't recommend it given the current status (or non-status, really) of the company. Having been burnt by a disappearing manufacturer once, I have no intent of repeating the experience, or recommending someone invest significant money and put themselves in the position of having to walk away from it. 

Sugden.  Yes, the A21SE or the IA 4.  They all work well.

You are spot on with your description of Accuphase! 
 

I’m shocked no one has mentioned Esoteric….

There were two... the Musical Fidelity A1 with a set of JBL 4312s - that was my 1st great amp after coming from a pretty solid Yamaha CA-810 and then about 12 or so years ago I heard a Simaudio Moon i-7 at the headmaster's house where my son was going to school. It blew me away with his ProAc 2.5s. That particular setup was so dialed in that at the time, I'd never heard anything sound great; it humbled my modest setup and was inspiring. Just my experience

Sooner or later I will slim down to an integrated ...  Great suggestions above!

May I add Electrocompaniet to the list ....
