Small but high quality integrated

What is your budget Hysterio? I could think of few different compact sized integrateds to recommend at different price points. These would be my picks -

- Musical Fidelity M6i, $2999
- Unison Unico Secondo hybrid integrated, $3150
- Bladelius Thor Mk3, circa $5k
- Hegel H300,$5500
- Electrocompaniet ECI-5Mk2, $5999
- Simaudio Moon 600i, $8000

Of the above, the most musical sounding would be the Unison, Electrocompaniet & Simaudio, whilst the cleanest and most accurate sounding would be the Bladelius, Sim & Hegel. All of the above options are good value at their price points.

Most of the amps I mentioned above (except the M6i) would kick the butt of the Luxman & Accu. Luxman are made in China now & the Accuphase e-350 has no power. SET's sound lovely, but I always think it's wise to have more power than you need as inevitably audiophiles upgrade to bigger and better speakers.

Thanks for the clarification Ren, though bare in mind that a Manufacturer can manufacture just a few parts in one country (eg: Japan), ship those parts to China to be assembled and still legally claim the product is "Made in Japan", and from what i've read there is debate going either way regarding their higher ranging models. Bare in mind, Luxman is now a Chinese company. If you contact them - you're calling their office in China.
