looking for a Integrated amp $6,000 range

then take a look at the Gryphon Diablo.

Gryphon Diablo 300 best I had heard , But, you might have to sell your wife and kids off to buy one.

He doesn't need the 300, the 120 will do with the efficiency of those speakers at 94db, but nasty impedance loading of down to 1.8ohm in the bass. And he get a ESS Sabre dac thrown in with the Gryphon.

Primaluna. you need to listen at a brick and mortar store. They can be had used for less cost and fit your price range. I compared a primaluna EVO 100 the starter integrated with a Hegel H390 in a private listening room on $4,500 / pair paradigm speakers.  The Primaluna had better clarity, accuracy if instuments,  The Bass was clear and more defined. The Hegel sounded great too, just less of everything. The little giant killer tube amp is amazing. Primaluna top of the line integrated will impress you.

Gryphon is a top level brand. Higher than Coda, Pass, Rega, Parasound, Rowland etc. Problem is cost.

Used pass labs

I’m certain that the Gryphon Diablo is a excellent piece but out of my budget....
