Opinions on best integrated under 10k?

Father Christmas has been early and left me a very sizable bonus check!
So time to spend it before the other half can....

Looking at building another system but thinking of just a very high power integrated amp.
Wish list...
200w or more.
Balanced inputs
Digital inputs
Phono inputs

A quick look shows items like McIntosh ma7900 and Mark levinson ml585 which both seem to fulfill all or the majority of my wants.
Sure there are others.
So thoughts and any current or previous owners of suitable candidates please chime in
Thank you in advance

I had the H160. I changed for separates , Luxman amp and Mac pre. What I got for grossly 4x the Hegel ´s price... Class A midrange richness...brass and sax sound have more meat on the bone, tube like density in the highs and smoothness, better clarity...voices are more in the room its spooky real, bigger soundstage, a little bit more articulation in the bass. 

My advice is get class A amplification ( or integrated).
