Downsizing from Ayre MX-R monoblocks


I am looking to downsize from my previous amps, the wonderful Ayre MX-R monoblocks to an integrated amp. I want something that has the same quality and sound as the Ayre. I know the Ax-7e is an option but to be totally honest, I am not too keen on its looks. In terms of price, I would like to stay at $5K or less used. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

No tubes, smallish 4 ohm speakers, not particularly demanding music (SET-type), effortless, $5000, integrated ...

New: Classe CAP-2100 or Plinius 9200

There's a Pass INT-150 on the listings board now but a INT-30 gets you into class A.

Also saw some Macs and a Luxman, if you like "old school" looks.
