Best integrated amps under $9k

I am building a new house and I will be having a large great room ( 25x28).  I love music and and I love to hear all the different instruments clearly.  I don't need a heavy bass.  I am also not going to be playing music at real loud levels.   I like wide dispersion speakers.  I have been looking at integrated amps from Krell, Classe, Pass, Macintosh, ATI.  Any advice?  Sound quality is really important to me.   Whatever I buy will last a lifetime.  The reason I am thinking about integrated is that I like the idea of AMP/Pre-Amp in one box.  Any input is appreciated.

I am now realizing that even though the Totem Hawks sounded awesome in a smaller room, they would not in the large room I described.  So now I am looking at the Raven Reflection MK2 integrated amp with Legacy Focus SE speakers.  Dave the owner of Raven is awesome and extremely helpful.  He is also going to have a range of integrated tube amps from $2500 - $10,000.  Check out Raven Audio.

I used a pr of Totem Signature Model 1's monitors in a room that big and I thought they did quite well with a 225w amp .
