This is the information age.If it’s available for sale it’s been tried & there is a TON of info on just about any integrated on the market..I myself LOVE integrated amps,especially with built in DAC functions..As a matter of fact I’ve demo’d a dozen different ones in my home system & another dozen on the road..I consider myself highly educated on today’s integrated amplifiers..Start with more info here,budget,room type & size,listening habits(LOUD,normal or low level),room acoustics(hard & reflective,soft surface everything or in between),types of music listened to should do..
You’ll get specific recommendations & the more that reply a pattern will form in which units to start investigating...Read EVERYTHING you can find on your choices,ask more questions here..Honestly it's almost impossible to get a bad amp now days,some are better than others but even the extreme entry level can make a highly musical system...Same goes for speakers..IMO NEVER in our history has so much great sounding gear been available so inexpensively..
Eventually you will either have to go seek out the gear or buy & try unheard..I’ve always had good luck following this method...
Have you listened to any live music lately?You need to hear different musical instruments in different acoustic rooms to have a baseline as to what real music sounds like..Good luck..
