integrated amp for $1500?

okay, here it goes...i plan to change a little my system...i'm looking to get an int. amp with a black face, with tight and deep bass (not mushy like the CAV50), nice smooth and extended treble (not screechy like Krell150i), with at least 25W/channel...i don't mind tubes or solid state...is there anything out there that can satisfy my requirements?...i don't mind used either...thanx for any suggestions...

I really love my VTL IT85 (even tho I'll be upgrading in a few months): awesome sound, tight bass, liquid mids, highs...

and it has a ton of features: processor in, pre-out, remote, great looks

Check out Audiomat Arpege. 30w/ch Tube integrated with black translucent plexi faceplate that allows you to see the glowing bits of the tubes. VERY nice sounding stock and really special with NOS Mullard input tubes. No remote though so you have to actually get up to turn it on/off, louder etc.

If you can up your budget a tiny bit our demo Belles 250i would definitely be an excellent solution for you. It's a 125 wpc. hybrid with a tube preamp and solid state poweramp. Remote volume and mute. Awesome sound, outboard power supply, full record loop, beautifully hand built by Dave Belles.
