Integrated Amp - Looking to replace my amp & pre


I know this simular topic has been discussed before, I have a top quality amp (mono blocks)and preamp and I am getting to the point in my audio life where I would like to get a quality integrated amp. SS, tube or hybrid it doesn't matter. Power requirement 50 watts minimum 200+ would also be ok. I would love to hear responses from anyone who has made the switch to a high quality integrated and if they were happy with the switch. Price range $3000 - $10,000 new or used.

Thanks

I agree with dawgcatching. I've owned both the Graaf GM50B tube integrated and the Ensemble Fuoco hybrid, and have had pretty spectacular results with both. The key for me was to find components that had lots of system synergy, and that takes lots of trial and error (read: expensive).

My best combination to date was the Graaf GM50B integrated Driving ProAc D25, with REL Strata III sub and Meridian G08 CD player. Juicy, punchy.... ahhhhhhhh.
