personally i would strongly consider the Dartzeel CTH-8550 integrated amp which I wish I still owned. it has all of Dartzeel’s superior musicality with lots of power. They are built to outlast us so age would not be my concern. Occasionally one will hit the used market but they don’t stay around. I would only buy it used. Jonathan Tinn( Blue Light Audio) is the Dartzeel importer and I would bet that he would help you find either Dartzeel model.
On a totally different note I would also check out Jeff Rowland’s integrated amps as well as the new Krell. Good luck.
