Which is best American Amp in $1500-2000 range?

I am considering the idea of upgrading my amp and I would like to know what are the best choices for INTEGRATED amps in the $1500-2000 price range. What are the best-buy options, that have the best cost/quality relation? Please tell me only the best american brands, not the british or chinese. Thanks!

Hi Macrojack,

Because I already know what are the best British amps...and I don't trust the Chinese in the amp department.

The Rogue Tempest II is wonderful. A little over your stated budget but can be found used from time to time.

Another vote for both the Rogue and McIntosh integrated amps

Another vote for Rogue. And, Cary for that matter. You also may want to check out Granite, though it's tough to find used - excellent equipment.

Nuforce has new integrated amp, the 9 series I heard were excellent, the integrated has similar sound but not quite the dynamics of the power amps only. To me, the ultimate (moderate priced) transistor amp if tubes do not do it for you. I assume U.S. made.
