Thanks again for everyone's comments and suggestions. At this point I'm preparing to go to the store for a comparison listen and have narrowed it down to three integrated amplifiers. There's Mcintosh's MA9500, Hegel's H400, and Bryston's Bi200.
I should also offer a caveat about my choices in that the 'look' of the device is important to me. I have no love for the Mac's retro look-- but it's a MAC! In fact if the Mac had the look of a Yamaha or Technics I'd push the button right now. The look of the Hegel and Bryston I'm cool with.
