best sounding integrated for under 2500.00

just getting back into audio. want this to be my last purchase. like smooth warm sounding equipment as i listen to alot of metal and rock from the 80s. this can sound harsh on alot of equipment. been researching for months and im getting more confused by the minute. i thought creek destiny or krell 300 might do the trick. any other suggestions. powering psb stratus golds.

Hey Mapman,

How do the DAC and phono stages compare with the ones in your main system?

In the original price range(from 4 years ago!), The Parasound Integrated should be on the short list. Parasound's house sound is to the warm side and their Halo line is really something special.

seikosha the sound overall is very comparable to my main system up to moderately loud volume. Have not had opportunity to evaluate the phono section yet in detail but initial impressions was most favorable. I'm running the c5i solely with my smaller ohms so far.
