Suggestions on a neutral and powerful integrated..

I have gone through quite a bit and just looking for some feedback from others.
I am looking for a neutral sounding but extremely powerful integrated amplifier for a pair of Wilson mk3 (I am aware of the specifications and I do require power and control at loud volumes)
Please do not suggest anything out of my needs since I am specific in this requirement.

I am currently trying a hand full of integrated's but truly would appreciate some input based on your experiences.
I have 7k to spend (new or used and leaning towards used for the available choices) and need a single box solution. I have tried all the Krell's, ARC, Ayre, Pass, Audio Note integrated units and now I am wanting to move a notch up.
Thanks

ok...nevermind...way too expensive.

However, if you read the review...the Sim Moon Audio stuff is probably well within reach. i am pretty sure they do an integrated.

I went though trying different integrateds to go with with my Martin Logans Vistas which love power at 4 ohms.
I finally got the new Music Hall A70.2 It does not get alot of talk but it is really a Giant Killer.Great sound'fast'pinpoint imaging. It is a dual mono at 125w at 8ohms and 180 at 4 ohms.Built like a tank.Huge transformers.Also the price is very good.It is a great integrated.
