Opinions on best integrated under 10k?

Father Christmas has been early and left me a very sizable bonus check!
So time to spend it before the other half can....

Looking at building another system but thinking of just a very high power integrated amp.
Wish list...
200w or more.
Balanced inputs
Digital inputs
Phono inputs

A quick look shows items like McIntosh ma7900 and Mark levinson ml585 which both seem to fulfill all or the majority of my wants.
Sure there are others.
So thoughts and any current or previous owners of suitable candidates please chime in
Thank you in advance

Have a Lyngdorf coming on 30 day trial so will soon see what makes it tick so to speak, really wondering if the room correction can make that much difference

Will post impressions on this thread.
My only concern although I doubt it will be a genuine issue is that the Lyngdorf is not overly powerful.
But my Wilson's are a fairly easy drive so I think it should be fine.
Should be here Friday....

@uberwaltz Very nice thread. I am considering a Lyngdorf processor as an up grade to my Marantz 8802a and am quite interested to hear your impressions of the Lyngdorf ’house sound’ as well as the effectiveness of the 'room perfect' sound correction system. 👍

One of the nice aspects of the Lyngdorf is that you can run the room correction software and calibrate it and then you can play with it switched off or in focus or farfield so as to get an instantaneous comparison of the effectiveness of it.
I believe that even after it has done its thing you can still tailor it to suit if you think you know better....lol
