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?

Bought a Roksan Kandy III for $750 plus shipping from an audiogon dealer (demo) with full warranty. Sounds very strong and smooth, and great soundstage. Actually sounds stronger and cleaner than my old setup of PS Audio IV H and Hafler xl 280, rated 145/ch, which it replaced. And it comes with remote. Everything works great.
See www.roksan.co.uk for details.
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.
