Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k


It's a crowded market in the under $5k arena...

Let's hear which integrated amp surprised you and maybe even had you shaking your head in disbelief. 

Watch the first response be, 'no $5k integrated is that good' blah blah blah. You know how it is, lot of old fogeys on here that are done censoring themselves and take it out on the thread.

Also, if I've missed the cutoff and there's just this $6k or $7k amp that is worth consideration, feel free to mention.

Easy... Kinki Studio EX-M1. You would have to spend over five grand to significantly better it. It's only 2400 shipped. Sounds like it should cost 7 Grand
+1 for Audio Hungary Qualiton x200. If your speakers are on the efficient side, the Qualiton a20i is another solid contender. Excellent class A tube sound.

The PS Audio Strata has been a great integrated amp.  I hear the differences in any of my cables, sources and speakers.  The quality of the sound, build and features along with the unassuming size makes it a high value piece.  It drives my Proac 3.8’s and JM Reynaud’s with ease.  Wonderful piece at $3K.
