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...

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.

If you can..listen to the Classe Cap-100, Cap-150, Cap-151 and
Cap-80..in that order.

Used YBA Integre DT. For $1500 used you can probably find one with the phono stage add-on.

Search for Sugden:
I think hifichoice.co.uk is the site. They have a buyer's guide section. Also ecoustics.com will have reviews.
