Best Integrated, period.

Thats 100% correct buddy!
The amp that is musically engaging that lets you forgot about all your gear is the best amp period!

I have a little Redgum RGi60 that does that.

As has been said, there is no best. That being said, I believe that my Bryston B135sst2 is the best for the money. I have only had it a short time, however I know from comparison that it is very unlikley that any thing else would match it with my system.

I've been really happy with the NAD M3 integrated amp I've owned for nearly 2 years. I've driven B&W 695's, B&W CM5's and now a pair of Totem Element "Fire" monitors, with a Velodyne subwoofer, and all have sounded great! I listen to all sorts of music (except rap & country), at all volume levels and the amp drives the speakers beautifully, no matter how loud or what sort of music they are playing.

My Musical Fidelity kw500, upgraded by MuFi, is a fantastic amplifier. Quite, transparent, neutral, immensely powerful. I suppose it would be nice if it were balanced instead of coax, but I find its performance excellent nonetheless.

I am biased being a lover of low power high quality amps and high sensitivity speakers but for me and many like me the best amp period is my Audio Note Ongaku (Japan , Kondo era mid 90s) I am selling it to raise cash for house move.
