looking for a Integrated amp $6,000 range

Cambridge Audio Edge A $6k also had great reviews.

Trying to get best price/performance  I was targeting the Audio Alchemy combo (now Elac Alchemy), then the Cambridge Audio Edge A, then the Aesthetics Mimas $7k. I also liked Hegels which has a lot of positive reviews.  I ended up blowing up my budget by purchasing used Constellation Inspiration pre+amp (TAS top 50 audio bargains) partly to help avoid upgradeitis.

If you purchase used gear, make sure it’s the correct voltage.  

@iconicaudio
What’s the voltage of your country? If in USA or Canada there’s an open box demo at: https://seattlehifi.com/demos/?hegel-h390-integrated-amplifier-with-dac-open-box-demo
but you must call for the price.

I’m in Illinois. From what I’m hearing they’re raising the taxes and the voltage so I’m not quite sure  lol...

You do not mention the minimum power necessary, but you might look at Bakoon.

Yet another chip in for Luxman, especially if you are considering Accuphase (the Japanese integrateds are the shizzle).
