Recommend a non-polite sounding amp / integrated

Looking for a a non-polite sounding amp / integrated. By polite I mean Denon, Musical Fidelity, Arcam. I had Rotel and Adcom and they were harsh. I was thinking about Pass (maybe is just very detailed) or a chip amp. Probably not digital or tube amp.

Integrated is okay as long as it does not have digital volume.

Price under 3K and driving a variety of easy to drive single driver speakers at 70-75dB in a small room.

My post about the MC240 was snark as it is widely acclaimed and in demand as both a collectible and musical amplifier. i run a highly modified 1961 in one of my systems. Of course YMMV.

Best to you in your journey of music
