best Integrated amp under 4000$

Art Dudley was wowed by the Winds with Bryston at the Montreal show. Bryston makes an integrated, though I am not sure if it incorporates the latest upgrades they have made to their standalone power amps. Today's Bryston sound is not the Bryston of old and the brand had a lot of momentum with their new amps and fabulous digital products.

Jadis used DA60?

Ok just went to listen to Audio Research VSi 60 and was really amazed of what it can do. The dealer is making me a great deal and taking in a cd player that i wanted to sell for more money that i can get for it. Total cost 3200 tax inc in cdn funds. Feed backs plllllllllllssssssssss

I had the VSI-55 and found it had a great 3d picture and great bass authority. I eventually found that I wasn't listening to the cd's in my collection that have great vocals, soloists, or small jazz.

I think it had to do with a slight lack of midrange texture that I find important. I changed the stock tubes and it was better still a little cool. I decided to change it for another amp.

I think it is a very fine amp but it didn't have the mids and the transparency I wanted. Perhaps a mismatch in my system. You can pick up a slightly used vsi-55 for around 2k. I've heard the better ARC reference stuff in a few systems and was very impressed with all aspects.
