What integrated amp under a grand is your favorite


I am looking for amps to suggest to my non-audiophile friends who are not going to spend like we do. They want a complete system for under 3 grand, so I am searching for an integrated under a grand category. I am looking for something a little smoother and liquid than NAD or Rotel. Are there such animals out there?

I have a Jolida 1501A hybrid purchased through Galen Audio at a discount which makes great music. I've hooked it up to a variety of speakers and though all sound ten times better with the Jolida.
I have a Chinese made Classic .10, and after 20 years of this crazy hobby, it is by far, THE best deal and the best piece I have owned, period..weighing in at 33 lbs, it is amazing.
