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.

Agree with Jake123 (from State Farm?). Need more info like
1. the speakers you are using and 2. the space you are listening in.
Small - Bakoon|Enleum. Large - Musical Fidelity NuVista 800. :D
For transistor, the Musical Fidelity M6si. Of course it depends on the speakers, cables, etc.. A perfect match for my Monitor Audio Silver 500s.
