Analog integrated amp recommendation

I need help researching for a new integrated amplifier w/o digital circuitry.
$7500 retail limit at least 100watts,no phono stage/tone controls preferred.
Solid State not tubes
Something like Sim audio moon 700i
without a $14,000 price tag.
Prefer neutral presentation,definitely nothing warm.
Already tried Bryston & Arcam
Close yet felt could do better/

I would suggest the Hegel H360. I have owned a couple now and they have plenty of power, with very good SQ.
the new Mcintosh  integrateds would also be a good choice.

I liked the Electrocompanient series integrated amplifiers. I paired the ECI 3 with Martin Logan SL3's and the sound was a bit stringent / cool side but with the right equipment and cables these amplifiers are excellent.  There are also good deals to be had on Ebay.

Burmester 032, neutral with tone towards the warm, full-bodied sound and richness of details.
