Great suggestion! I’m listening to one right now as I type. I’m using the ‘loudness’ control since everyone else is asleep.

Luxman.  I went with the A/B and am very happy.

Thanks, all.  I'm going to try to get some sense of what various Luxman units sound like through research.  Yes, of course, nothing beats an in-house audition but home auditions, especially of multiple units are impossible for obvious reasons.  So, if anyone can write some descriptive words that address those differences, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm a big fan of Vincent Audio, not only because they have some really good sounding gear, but also because they buck the "no tone controls" trend on almost all their integrated amps and pre amps. Their hybrid SV-237MK, which I own, even has a "loudness" switch, a real rare option now a days. None that I know of have balance controls, but that alone shouldn't be a deal breaker. Check them out on Audio Advisor and Upscale Audio.
