Downsizing advice

I'm currently running an Air Tight ATC1, c-j Premiere 11A, pre power combo and I am considering downsizing due to financial reasons. That being said, I still want to have a great sounding stereo. Any recommendations on a great sounding integrated in the $2.5-3K range. Tube or solid state, it should be able to drive my Sonus Faber Grand Pianos. Suggestions welcome.

I haven't heard it, buy the Plinius 8200 is supposed to be very good. You may find that you enjoy using a nice integrated, I do. You also may be able to come across the first series Jeff Rowland Contentra for 3k or a touch over.

Jond, sorry to hear about your predicament. If finances are driving your decision, then I suggest you go significantly lower than your target budget of < $3k. YBA Integre (not the Passion) appear regularly for sale for less than $1,000. Good luck!

Have you looked at the Krell 300i? It's been well reveiwed and definately fits into your price range. I know some people don't like the krell sound but I have a few of their pieces and have found them to be very musical.
Good luck with your other issues.
