Integrated

Need some advice. I want to get a good audiophile integrated amplifier for my system. Currently using a cary sli80 with some thiel cs3.7 speakers. I'm trying to decide between pass labs int 150, jeff rowland contenuam 500, or mark levinson 383. Haven't heard any of the amps but I've read a verity of reviews on them.need some advice on witch one to get.any feedback would be appreciated thanks.

You will not be disappointed and the synergy with the Thiel’s should sound wonderful. CODA or Pass Labs would be next on the list. Let us know which way you go!
