Recommendations for a integrated amp

I've been considering an integrated for my living room tv + audio system as well. Ideally I'd love to swing for the Mark Levinson digital integrated #5802. It runs $8,500 but I've seen it at $5,000 or less at times. Another brand you might look at is Advance Paris. AP has two integrateds at $4,000 or less and like the ML, have D/A converters built in with USB & many inputs. The AP's can be had with phono as well. I've heard them in a salon, but not in my system, so everything was unfamiliar to my ears.

It’s interesting to see everyone chiming in on amplifiers. Start with the speaker upgrade, and then settle on the amp. Hegel is fine, but they don’t pair with everything. I wouldn’t suggest buying the amplifier and then finding out later you have the wrong match, then you’re back to square one. 
 

There are countless options under $4k, and you’ll be able to find something great with that budget. Speakers first. 

I would recommend you audition an NAD M33 if you can. Seems the going price is $3500 but can be had for less. I have one driving MoFi Sourcepoint 888’s and it does a magnificent job. I auditioned the H390 alongside the M33. The only area the Hegel seemed to excel was in the width of the soundstage. If you are hoping to simplify and upgrade your streaming performance, there is no comparison. The Nad/Bluesound interface is so much better as is, IMHO, the NAD DAC. It really is quite spectacular as the avalanche of positive reviews and awards indicates.

I'm guessing it's because that's what he asked for.
