Best integrated up to $6000


Mostly listen to jazz tríos, quartets, acoustic music ( piano and guitar) and vocals. Thank you for your advice!

A VTL Integrated is sounding good to me these days, driving a pair of Vandersteen Treo CT floor-standers. It replaced a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum which cost half as much ($2,500 vs $5000
Probably my Resolution Audio C50. Something inherently correct about this nimble but slightly light sounding S.S. Gets the fundamentals right, very smooth with no S.S. artifacts. 
I recently purchased a used Mark Levinson No 585 for under $5500. You can’t go wrong with ML gear.
That ML 585 is a superb integrated. There are some new ML 5000 series models that a tiny bit over $6K new.
