Have a bug for a new (to me) integrated

OP:     I just have this itch i can’t scratch wondering if I am missing some dynamic slam, grip on the upper low end... or something of that ilk. Hard to put into words i guess.  
I know this.  I ran Manley 300B pre with Mahi Mahi mono blocks, Merlin BME monitors and JL sub.  Just didn’t catch it.

Now, ATC 50 active towers, ATC Class A preamp.  Slam, definition and done.  Good hunting.

Many good suggestions here. I am surprised no one mention Hegal. I own a pass 250, Krell k300, Accuphase 380, electrcompaniet 6 Mrk 2, mac352,Hegal 390. The Hegal seems to sound like all of these rolled into one. The Krell is the warmest with a that distinctive Krell bass. The Hegal puts out 250 into 8 ohms which would give you plenty of power. It’s slightly warmish, with a smooth top end. I have 11pairs of speakers and the Hegal is not fussy over what I pair with it. For your price range the Hegal would be my choice. 

I only heard the LYNGDORF TDAI-3400 once at the last AXPONA - it sounded great I made a note of it.  My tastes are Magico or YG accompanied with top electronics, unfortunately my budget says otherwise.  The Lyngdorf sounded like a much more expensive amp maybe 15k+, I was very surprised at it’s low price.  At its price point it might be considered a sonic bargain.  

Hello all, wanted to provide an update. I pulled the trigger last night on a Luxman 550AXII that TMR had, i felt that the price was right and I have wanted to get back into class A ever since i sold my Threshold 400A back in the day. (to pay for an engagement ring... no longer my spouse jeeze...) Anyway I am eager and a little nervous for it's arrival. We should start a support group thread haha.. Hello my name is Doug and it's been 1 day since I spent good money on a ______...

To answer your question @tunefuldude I did get a chance to hear Lyngdorf a week or so ago and it was excellent! TMR had a second hand unit and the choice was not easy. 

Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions. 

Fingers crossed,

Doug

you own a Hegel (apparently - among 10s of $1000s of other gear) and you can't even spell it? It's a really simple 5 character word.
