Davetan, I do find it funny that of the seven posts so far, only one has made reference to your list of six candidates. Question really is what's your price range, what are your power requirements, what are your musical and sonic priorities and preferences? Each of your listed integrateds has its own strengths and weaknesses, as do the ones mentioned in the posts above. What are you looking for? Then maybe the above posters can elaborate on why they like their favorites and give you some more guidance.
