Small but high quality integrated

Looking for a small size but high quality solid state integrated to drive Castle Stirling II speakers--91db efficient.
These are really great speakers built in Skipton England and I am looking to make a large upgrade from a Rega Brio R.
I have no more patience for many boxes, cables, power cords etc.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Both Pathos and Bel Canto make fine sounding, great looking, small chassis integrated amps. The Pathos is a 50 wpc hybrid, the Bel Canto is a high powered, SS switching amp.

What is your budget Hysterio? I could think of few different compact sized integrateds to recommend at different price points. These would be my picks -

- Musical Fidelity M6i, $2999
- Unison Unico Secondo hybrid integrated, $3150
- Bladelius Thor Mk3, circa $5k
- Hegel H300,$5500
- Electrocompaniet ECI-5Mk2, $5999
- Simaudio Moon 600i, $8000

Of the above, the most musical sounding would be the Unison, Electrocompaniet & Simaudio, whilst the cleanest and most accurate sounding would be the Bladelius, Sim & Hegel. All of the above options are good value at their price points.
