Integrated suggestions

The Gato & Audio Hungary look interesting. I'm aware of both brands but know little about them.

Russ Andrews offer an upgrade service to the M6si so considering its low cost on the used market it's a tempting option. 

@soix  Funny you should mention Octave as I currently own one of their amps & have owned 2 others in the past! As I'm familiar with the performance of this amp I think a regression within the line would be more noticeable than other manufacturers...if that makes sense!

Decware is too expensive with the options I need & that VAC would require a voltage change...plus there's no balanced input. 

Thanks all so far.

@soix  I'm currently using the V70 Class A (KT150) with the Super Black Box & Telefunken driver tubes. It's very revealing with speed & impact, plenty of midrange punch. I'm a musician so another way I would describe it is very much like an excellent tube guitar amp! 

I'll be sad to see it go but as I mentioned personal circumstances are a factor. 

I've previously owned the HP700 pre & the V110SE. Years ago I was in a position to purchase the MRE 220 but I hesitated & life moved on. I wish I had as they're way more expensive now. 

Prior to the V70 Class A purchase I considered the V80SE but really wanted full class A (V80SE is A/B) & at the time found auto bias appealing. 

If you need any more info just message.

@stringreen  yes you're right, it's a very depressing!

Don't know much about Line Magnetic apart from the name. The Belles Aria Signature seems to be a contender.

@waltersalas  Thank you!

No balanced input on the Moonriver...Hegel is interesting although they don't look very nice!

@secretguy It's just a general guide. 

@edcyn  If you read my initial post you'll see the reason i am selling my current integrated is not because "I fancy a change..."

@njkrebs  Good call, I'd forgotten about Lab12. This is probably the direct competition to the X200. I'd certainly like to hear both...

@rmdmoore  I have the PH9.0X with Tesla tubes & silver umbilical. Fantastic phono stage & i suspect my last.

@lak Which one falls within the budget...?

Never heard of Circle Labs before. Not considered McIntosh or Accuphase. Still not sure about Hegel; has modules I don't need & as I've mentioned before they don't look appealing!

Thank you all, there are plenty of viable options. I suppose the next step is a shortlist but even then it's impossible to try all the ones of interest at home. 

Thank you all for your continued suggestions. Obviously used offers more value & I briefly contemplated a used Levinson 585 but my back isn't the best & I don't think I want to return to a very heavy lump.

The issue is I can't see the Octave selling anytime soon...
