Looking for the Best Integrated High Current Amplifier 250-300 WPC

I am constantly trying different audio gear and love seeing what works best with my system of the day lol, and that system today includes Focal Sopra 2’s and maybe a Lumin X1 only if needed. I have had the Gryphon Diablo 300 in the past and loved it also not opposed to grabbing another one. I am open to others like the Hegel 590 that has a full blown streamer Dac which is a major plus as well any other that can rival those 2 at a 15K or less price point.

Thanks for your help

Ok, so now I'm thinking Gryphon Diablo or Pass Pass Lab's 250-INT.

The Gryphon Diablo 300 intergrated, I believe has no equal for 250-300w with very high current. 300w-8ohms 950w-2ohms

I'd encourage you to audition a darTZeel LHC-208 in this price range. 

In my experience, you need to hear these things for yourself, in your home, to make a decision that makes you truly happy. Find a dealer that will help make that happen.

As the OP asked "best High Current Integrated".
The Dartzeel can’t do anywhere near the current the Gryphon Diablo can.

As these show, Dartzeel, 230w-8ohms and 435w-2ohms
Compared the Gryphon’s 300w-8ohms and 950w-2ohms

I think the int 250 is the equal of the D300 but they sound different from one another. Both are excellent integrated amps and extremely well made. I’ve had a difficult time choosing between the two myself but ended up going with the int 250 and the MSB Discrete DAC/streamer with optional second power supply. I loved the sound of the int 60 when I auditioned it. However, the int 250 has a more extended top and bottom end and more headroom. I guess I just really like the Pass sound. But that’s my ears. The D300 is a killer amp though. Wish I could afford both.
