Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh

The "purist" approach is no longer viable for me due to recent hearing loss, and I'd also like to simplify my tube separates which consist of preamp, power supply, and pair of mono amps.
 Budget up to 10K. But, of course,  I also could just go with a Schiit Loki for $149 bux and keep feeding my tube gear. :) Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Great suggestion! I’m listening to one right now as I type. I’m using the ‘loudness’ control since everyone else is asleep.

Luxman.  I went with the A/B and am very happy.

Thanks, all.  I'm going to try to get some sense of what various Luxman units sound like through research.  Yes, of course, nothing beats an in-house audition but home auditions, especially of multiple units are impossible for obvious reasons.  So, if anyone can write some descriptive words that address those differences, I'd greatly appreciate it.
