Late getting to this chain and surprised no one has mentioned Lyngdorf. I bought a TDAI 2170 for my family room system, bc of the one box solution and built in processer (the room set-up is asymmetrical, furniture, etc....) but that's not where I'm going....when I compared it to my main/basement system (bel canto 3.7dac, SF Line 1, two Gold Note PA-10 amps in mono or BAT VK56), it performed equal to and in some respects better. Some might say duh, vintagey vs STOA, but nevertheless I imagine the 3400 would suit your needs splendidly. Can't say how it'd compare to Luxman or Krell which have much more of a following, but something to consider esp if you might benefit from digital processing for room adjustment and option of several different sounding set-ups.
Recommendations for a integrated amp
Lately I have been thinking going integrated from separates. I been interested in an integrated amp so I can keep it simpler with less signal chain. Also am looking for one that has a USB input so I can eliminate my interface as a dac. I am mainly looking SS but is not limited to. My budget is around 4k but I am flexible. This will be powering a pair of Triangle BR03 speakers.
BTW, I currently have a Rotel RC-995 preamp and a Acurus A150 amp with a Focusrite interface as a dac using Tidal on my laptop as a source.

Audio Excellence in Canada has a youtube video comparing the H590 and H390. Here is link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIsZOwpWMMA Everything I’ve watched, read, suggest H390 is the warmer of the two, which is why I bought the H390. Fly HiFi in Auburn (east of Sac) has a "like new" used H590 for $4500. At that price, it might be well worth the drive.
