Another vote for Naim integrateds. The 5 series has been well-regarded for many years. Should be able to find them, along with all kinds of other Naim gear, used.
I am currently using an XS integrated (I picked up a dealer's ex-demo) that I am absolutely thrilled with. My system has never before sounded so musical.
I appreciate that some may find the "black box" look to be unappealing. For the first time in my audio journey, I am no longer listening to my gear- things just sound right.
Good luck with your decision.
