Best integrated, ???

I plan on getting Dynaudio's 5.4s(at the moment) and i'm looking for feedback on integrated amps. I have heard the Pathos TT & ML 383 with the 5.4s ... I liked the TT better, though it drove the speakers it is close to it's limit.
I was wondering about BAT VK-300X, McIntosh MA6900, Musical Fidelity Tri Vista integrated 300 and any other that have been compared...

I wonder if bill listened to the Mac before it was completely
run-in. I too experienced quite a bit of muddiness & congestion in the MA6900 initially. The MA6900 having a transformer coupled topology makes it necessary for it to be run-in more than the usual.I guess about 300 hours would do it.So make sure when you audition it has quite a bit hours in it.
My speakers are transmission line & reach down to 18Hz. To put it simply i just love the bass this combination produces. Not artificially tight, just right i think.

I also listened to the Levinson 383 with the Dyn Craffts. The 383 couldn't handle the bass at realistic levels. 100 Watts is just not enough for the Craffts. The No.334 is a different story.

Not heard the 5.4's but i am very familiar with a pair of Craffts.Give a listen to the MA6900. I use it with a pair of Studio monitors (18Hz-20Khz)which sound similar to Dynaudio's.The 6900 will surely bringout the bass the Dyns are known for, adding a bit of warmth to the slightly lean mids.Good luck.
