Best integrated/power amplifier under $6000

Looking for either a power amp or integrated amplifier with at least 150 watts in 8 ohms for under $6000- new or slightly used. What would you recommend? I would be using my own DAC with volume control - so just need either a power amp or intergrated without a DAC. Please share your recommendations for the best amp you have heard which meets the above requirements. 

Thank you

@dherring Your Hegel 590 is supposed to get ROON READY certification in late fall 2019. The new Hegel 390 integrated has ROON READY and this tech is supposed to be added to the 590. 

This was a big deal for me.

I just sold the Rega osiris integrated amplifier,  just sold the Luxman L-509X integrated amplifier,  just got the Krell k 300I integrated amplifier,  the Krell is a lot better than both with only 300 hrs of break in,  still getting better,  to me Luxman sxxxx!, hi fi sounding to say the least,  treble is exaggerated,  and is un realistically  to resessed in the sound stage!

Audiolabyrinth,

Thank you for your post, we knew the K300i is special just didn't know that is better than the Luxman. 

The K300i is so musical and we love the new sound of Krell being so much more organic and flowing then their earlier products

It is really nice to know that other people are hearing what we are hearing. Did you get yours with the digital board?
