I second the Krell Vanguard. It has large, detailed, listen-all-day presentation, tons of power, is compact, easy to place, and efficient. The best integrated Krell has ever made.
I have owned quite a few integrated amps during the past 20 years along with separates, ranging from the mcinstosh 6500, Lsa, rogue audio Cronus magnum, and the Hegel h100 and now the Hegel h300. The Hegel 300 is awesome and includes a decent dac if you don't have 1, I use an external dac. I had the factory change the ht bypass port to another RCA audio input. If you like tubes, the rogue Cronus magnum with the kt-120 tubes.
rbstehno, what DAC are you using with the H300, I haven't considered that, figuring the H300 DAC was a very good one, how would you describe the improvement? Is it an easy hook up? Thanks.
Personally I would recommend the Rogers EHF-200(2) which I use with an old pair of Amator - but if budget is a consideration then go for Job Integrated (US$1700) --- can't be beat.
