Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh

Thank you compadres.  So far my research is leading me to Luxman.  RE: Anthem, I did hear one a couple of years ago at an audio boutique and found it extremely harsh-sounding- the worst of solid-state was my impression.  I was very surprised since it had gotten "rave" reviews.  

Surprised to see no mention of Belles. A couple integrated amps are now available, and his gear is very well regarded. I have the Aria integrated and love it. I also use the Schiit Loki. On some recordings it works wonders, and fiddling around it can make it work almost like a loudness button, which I had on my older Luxman.

Then you should be using the ’quietness’ control, silly wabbit.

I hear ya, but that's what Luxman calls it. I'll remember to ask them in person next time I visit Japan. Will let you know asap :)

OP: Regarding Anthem, their target market is home theater. In that particular segment they stand head and shoulders above the likes Yamaha, Marantz or Denon. But when it comes to 2 channel music, I'd keep walking past it.

Just want to let y’all know how much I appreciate your ongoing contributions.

Now, here’s a thought from Audio Planet X:

I’ve been reading about a gizmo called DSPeaker AntiMode. If this device works as claimed, I may have found the answer to my question. Yes, it would still leave me with all my tube gear but for an integrated, I do have a very nice Wells Audio Majestic II which might work fine. I’ve been using the Wells during warm weather. The Wells, of course, does not have balance nor tone controls.

I think in the interest of avoiding confusion, I may start another thread about the DSPeaker.
