Integrated Curiosity

Hello all,

I was finally able to get a hold of some of my dreamed of speakers. I’m running expensive speakers on a cheap tube integrated amp with 45 watts. It sounds lovely, fleshed out beautiful mids, good soundstage, smooths out bad recordings- you know, very tube-like.

I want to go to the other end of the spectrum. Solid state, priority on slam, dynamic, a dampening factor, bass control, detail oriented,  leaning towards analytical is ok. Big power is a plus.

Im curious about older Krell integrateds, I’ve heard Hegel and enjoy them.  Really want to draw on the experience here for other ideas.
 

budget around $2500 

Thanks much for your thoughts,
