Recommendations for a integrated amp

@dekay I appreciate your comment. I like the idea of a matched combo set that will work with needs. I am in the central California area and finding a dealer near in the area a rare. I would have to drive at least 3 hours for an audition. As with USB input, I intend further down the road to get an external DAC/Streamer .

@polkalover I was, in some point, was looking at Musical Fidelity M6si. 

Simaudio just announced its new integrated 371 network player. A bit more than your price point. Their internal DAC and phono stage are fantastic . Had the Moon 390. +10 year warranty on their product. Otherwise I would go for a used Hegel 390. Good luck and keep us posted.

Used Hegel H390 (destroys the H190), can be found around $4,000, definitely very solid mid-fi

You might also take a look at Advance Paris, they have been getting some good press and reviews.....though I have no personal experience, they are LOADED with features. The A12 model can easily be found new for under $4,000, and the all-in-one 250 for not much more. Worth looking into if nothing else.

+2 on the Krell integrated. It is an excellent unit and can drive a wide variety of speakers.

Marantz Model 30.  I love mine
