Downsizing from Ayre MX-R monoblocks

I am looking to downsize from my previous amps, the wonderful Ayre MX-R monoblocks to an integrated amp. I want something that has the same quality and sound as the Ayre. I know the Ax-7e is an option but to be totally honest, I am not too keen on its looks. In terms of price, I would like to stay at $5K or less used. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe a Rowland Concentra 2. Sounds similar to the Ayre.

How about a set of Vandersteen 5A Carbons with your Ayre MXRs
it may sound so good that the level of performance
you reach may make you feel like you invested right all along.

Unless you're in a pinch or desperate situation, I'd keep the amps, they're making a great synergy in your setup.
