You might also want to check out Pathos and/or Bel Canto. Two very different approaches - two very successful implementations. I own both, have used each with a slew of different speakers, and have been very happy all around.

Need $1500 integrated amplification suggestions...
Some units on the radar:
Cary SLI-80 or F1
ARC CA-50
Classe 2100
Primaluna
Red Wine Audio 30.2
CODA integrated
Musical Fidelity A5
Any others worth considering? I am going a different direction in my system (downgrading amplification) and upgrading my speakers. I currently have a Tyler Linbrook Sig System, and will be going to the new Decade line, which are easier to drive, and more tube-friendly. I am looking for musical, easy to listen to, detailed, and full. Not overly bloomy, nor dry. And, I don't need a ton of power: 50wpc is plenty for these 8-ohm speakers.
Budget (new or used) is $1500. Tubes or Solid-state is OK: I just want a nice sound. Most $1500 (used) integateds sound pretty darn good.
