Integrated that blew you away

Like most I run separates but am looking to downsize but also upgrade. So for the first time since I decided I wanted as close to a world class system as I could afford, I’m looking at integrated amps.

 

So if you’re a separates guy/gal but heard an integrated that really struck you. Please share. I want to hear all the steamy details. The speakers, the source, the pursed lips and steamy glances.

I've always been a separates guy but my second system has an integrated amp.  It sounds great, I'm pretty confident I could have spent more on budget separates and still not have gotten the same performance.   That amp is a Cyrus i7XR.   Way too small for your needs but it's a great example of how good an integrated amp can sound.  

My Dad has the McIntosh MA8950.   That is a seriously good amp.  The built in DAC sounds excellent.  He has it driving a pair of Sonus Faber Electa Amator III anda REL S/510.      It's a great amp. .

Moon/ SimAudio makes great integrated amps too.   

Definitely want to home demo amps in that price range if possible.
