Recommend an integrated amp for my Harbeth 40.1's

I'm considering simplifying my system (and banking some cash) by selling off my separates (Aesthetix Calypso pre & McIntosh MC 275 MK V) and replacing them with a solid state or hybrid integrated amp.

I don't want to spend over $2,500 and would love to find something for less if it performs well... maybe vintage? I want something that has a good support network in case I ever need repairs, so obscure/chinese brands are not being considered.

I hear good things about Luxman, Naim and Accuphase with Harbeth, but will need something with enough horsepower to control the Harbeth M-40.1's 12" woofer. Naim is intriguing, but I don't understand how it's connections work and I don't want to change my IC's and speaker cables.

The Luxman 505u has a really good syerngy with Harbeth speakers if you need more PRAAT than what the Accuphase Int amps can offer.
Its a simple int amp w/ bass and treble controls just like the accuphase. THe bass control is handy because the M40.1 has a heavy bass which possibly can overload some rooms.

Good luck!
