Most musical integrated amp you have heard?
My vote goes to Naim (especially vocal) and Plinius. 
"Tube Like" SS Integrated Amps
Naim integrated.

"ultrabright, detailed, etched, solid state sound"Wow, this is my first time hearing such words describing Plinius. The most frequently used words for 9100/9200 are always "tube like".

I would recommend Plinius 9100/9200. They sound very musical and make you feel like in the music hall. Have not heard the Luxman, but reviews say it is one of the best. 
Vienna Beethoven, Spendor 8SE, Adagio or VS VR4jr

Levinson no. 383 compared to others?
Plinius. 
Marantz vs Mcintosh
I did audition the 6300 and 6600 in store. I agree that 6300 has better impact and 6600 offers fuller sound. The salesman advised that the 6600 was very very similar to the older 6900. 
Marantz vs Mcintosh
My current system sounds very good (with Opera Quinta speakers). I am just wondering if Mcintosh amps would make the music sound more real. 
Sonus Faber and Haydn Grand
I have owned Vienna Acoustics Mozart and Sonus Faber Sigma before but Opera Quita is my current one. IMHO, Vienna Acoustics are smoother and warmer than Sonus Faber, the Opera are between those two. All three make very musical speakers, you cannot... 
sonus faber, vienna acoustics, proac
Thanks guys for your advice. But so far, nobody mentioned ProAc. Is ProAc not a candidate for my taste?
