Some interesting perspectives here. I had not really considered the Cary 805, and looking at them perhaps they would be a good fit. Whatever the amp, it has to be musical and have good bass.
I have a Triode Corp TRV845se integrated and it is a wonderful amp. It is a very linear and punchy amp that has a terrific tube warmth. I have had it open and the build quality is nice and neat. Alps volume and some good caps and other components in key areas are present. The only thing I am not crazy about is the remote. The buttons stopped working and needed to be replaced.
