best sounding integrated for under 2500.00


just getting back into audio. want this to be my last purchase. like smooth warm sounding equipment as i listen to alot of metal and rock from the 80s. this can sound harsh on alot of equipment. been researching for months and im getting more confused by the minute. i thought creek destiny or krell 300 might do the trick. any other suggestions. powering psb stratus golds.

Without a doubt just chance to better tubes the Coincident Dynamo
SET integratd amp the Japanese transformers are excellent
And 8wpc ,But transformers are built over 40% bigger then they need to be
Superb dynamcs and detail. If tiyr speakers are 90 db or over in a med size room .excellent i have a powered sub ,amd Omega Alnico speakers great combination. EL-34 tubes Psvane mk-2 Mullard 5ar4 rectifier,and Tungsol
1948 smoke glass 6SU7 tubes . Others have compared $4,000 amps against this. This is a Giant killer without ant reservation. P.s
Evrn more potential in modding Khozmo volume ,Jenson 4 pole caps, and Jupiter coupling caps that is the next step to transform this even further
If you are into modding .
