I have a Simaudio i.53SE. It is a fine and convenient integrated, but stepping to a Pass Labs class A will provide more dimension to the music. Your speakers are pretty efficient so, if stepping up, it may not be about more power, but better circuitry. If my speakers had those specs I'd go for the VAC 160i.
Modwright builds great stuff, and you are right Dan is a standup guy. I love my Modwright 5400es.
Congrats. Great choice. I have my modwright 5400 in for additional mods. That company rocks. Superb people.
