Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp?



I'm a reasonably well experienced audio nut and have tried a number of "good" integrated amps. I wonder, though, if there are integrated amps that are good enough for the "best", most revealing speakers. (Think Avalon Eidolon, Verity Parsifal, various JM Lab Utopias, and a variety of other fine speakers that do not have mammoth power requirements.)

People talk about the Levinson, the Musical Fidelity KW-500 and the lesser MF amps, the BAT integrated, The Rowland Concerto, etc. etc. etc.

I would like to hear from people who have actually tried the top tier of integrated amps and would be very interested in learning of their findings.

Don't need to be the most expensive. Could be the YBA Passion, Classe, MacIntosh 6900, Krell 400i, or any of a number of integrated amps that are supposed to sound good.

Hope to hear some good feedback.

Thanks very much.

It's a bit of an oxymoron, but the 4-piece ASR "Integrated amp" is a pretty serious piece of work...
The Krell KCT and any of their cx series of amps are electronically identical to an integrated amp because of the CAST connection between the components that keeps the balanced signal in the current domain in the connection implementation. So as much an oxymoron as the multipiece ASR.
While we are on the subject of hi end integrateds: Julian, I don't think this messes up your thread. You have oodles of suggestions and you can always buy my Passion. I'm selling my YBA to delve into tubedom. Purchasing very efficient speakers (Zu Definitions) 101db and want to have a go'round with a tube integrated. Any suggestions? I'm a tube virgin, so be gentle. thanks in advance, warren
Jsaah...what speakers are using? Interested in the WAVAC but not sure how well it can drive various speakers....I personally don't have much exp w/ tubes.
