The best two I've used (and still own) are: (below)
after owning all of these integrateds:
Densen DM-10
Naim Nait1
Naim Nait2
Naim Nait3/3R
Naim Nait5
Naim Nait5i
Creek 4___ series
vintage tubes like H.H. Scott 299, 222, Fisher
Rega Mira
and listening to others:
Cary SLI, VAC Avatar, ARC integrated, CJ 55, Rowland Concentra
...an all-original 12-watt Sugden A21 and Cary CAD-300sei with original Cetron 300Bs. Nothing beats these two in what integrated amps are needed for (less complication. more music, less audiophilia) given sympathetic speakers.
Also one of the best that I've heard but could not own: Audio Note Ongaku
