Integrated amp suggestions.

Downsizing from Mcintosh 601 mono blocks and MC. c52 preamp to integrated amp.
My speakers are Sonus Faber Nova 5 CD player is MC. 550. 
Music collection is all cd's, I'm not streaming at all.
I'm thinking maybe the Dan D'Agostino Progression integrated.
It sounded great with the same speakers I have, and a AR. CD player.
My local dealer is giving a very good trade in deal on the D'Agostino.
Any other suggestion would be appreciated.

I've heard the D'Agostino amp, but not the integrated.  Very good sounding.  Another great choice is the Luxman series.  Not sure if you'd prefer the Class A or A/B.

I also like Ayre a great deal, but distinctly different than those two.

Audition one of these with a Super Black Box.  I don't know much about the company but auditioned a unit at the RMAF and if I had the budget I would be considering one.

If you want to stay with the McIntosh house sound, you can pick up their best integrated (300wpc) for under 10K.
