Ultimate Integrated amps

eric:  Good point.  I'm wondering how middle ground integrateds would fair in that list:  Ayre AX-5 twenty, Gryphon Diablo, AudioNet Watt, T&A, Ypsilon Phaeton.  None of these are in the $30K to $50K class but within some of our means (used prices anyway :).

I'm a big Luxman fan myself.
Other middle ground integrateds include Yamaha and Accuphase, and the ARC and McIntosh tube ints.

oh, and very interesting is the Anthem with built in room correction. Really wish I could hear that in action.

Guys there has been multiple threads discussing resonably priced integrated amps and there are too many amps under $20K to list them all.On the other hand 30 to 50K integrated are pretty rare and it would be nice to have your thoughts on why you went that route instead of the separates route at this price point.I did audition the CH Precision I1 driving Vivid Giya3, that combo was really smooth and liquid sounding.Also heard the Audionet Humboldt at Munich driving Dynaudios, i did not like this combo at all, not a good pairing imo.Borresen speakers would have been great with the Humboldt.I would like to audition the d'Agostino Momentum Int, if some of you are familiar with this piece please share your experience.

@erik_squires : Where do you live? I have the Anthem STR preamp (not the integrated) set up in Portland, OR, and you are welcome to come over for a listen.
