Which integrated amplifier .


I will be giving my daughter my audio system soon . You see , I've been fighting with lung cancer for the past 7 years . 
 Recently my oncologist told me he has exhausted all possible treatment options available and even though they have slowed the growth they haven't stopped it .

 So he deemed me incurable . That being said , I'm preparing everything , leaving my audio system to my daughter . 

Doc says its called sarcoma and that its one of those type of cancer dificult to treat . Enough of that . So I'm preparing myself . I wouldn't like to give my daughter my audio system as it is ,  Its to complicated and she knows nothing of it . She loves the way it sounds but knows absolutely nothing of stereo hardware .

That being as it is , to simplify I was thinking of trading in my preamp and amp for a decent sounding integrated . What complicates things a bit is that my speakers are kind of power hungry , Magnepan MG12 , so the integrated has to be a high current design .

My present amp which Im willing to trade is a Mcormack DNA 125 . It's great with the maggies as it pumps out up to 65 amps of current making. my maggies sing .Preamp is a Elekit TU-8500 tube preamp with all the mods installed including upgraded capacitors in line stage  and resistors in phono stage . 

So anyone know of a low cost integrated of high current ,  capable of moving Magnepan MG12 ? I would really apreciate any suggestion . 

I know there are some excellent units in the market  but they are all very expensive and for someone living with social security , well , you get my drift . One unit I was looking at is from rogue audio but if possible for simplicity of use Solid State would be better for my daughter.

Can you imagine ! I got to sit down with her and explain  how to use the turntable , connect everything . What goes where . A integrated would simplify things . Thank you guys for your suggestions in advance . God bless and stay safe .

Thank you for your helo 
Read the reviews . Seems to be a very good integrated .
Thsnk you all for your suggestions . I've heard and have had in the past Marantz equipment and I liked how they sound , smooth , relaxed and detail . Parasound is one of those companys that everything they come out with sounds great and to me ears they sound neutral .

I was thinking of making a diagram of the system apart from explaining to her how its connected . Also been considering selling my turntable to simplify things and leave her my cd player .
Parasound always seems to design equipment with a neutral tonal quality.
 Not to warm , not to cool . Right in the center . Plus their designs are very dynamic with nice soundstages .
Thsnks again guys . Its nice to see that audiohiles care . Your words of strengh have touch me . 
On to the equipment . My equipment is Elekit Tu-8500 tube preamp , Mccormack DNA-125 , Project 1expression 2 turntable , turandot Opera Audio CD Player with Magnepan MG 12 with upgraded modified crossover . Got everything connected with JPS Labs superconductor interconnect and speaker cable. All power cords are also JPS Labs connected to a Richard Gray power station . 

I really like the idea of explaining to her how the system works and how its connected . Shes 30 years old and would understand . Plus the time spent together would be precious . I'll ask her if she would like a integrated or leave it ss its. 

I've heard the Bel Canto sound and liked it . Extremely musical . The Belles should be great . Never heard it but have read great things on it . Pass Labs is fantastic but its way above my price range . Remember , social security .
When writing this post I never imagined that I would get so many responses .Especially with all your words of motivation and strenght . I feel humbled , thank you guys .In reality I don't have any cash money to invest in a integrated but was wondering on a trade deal to be done . You give me the integrated , I'll give you my preamp and power amp and be done with it . Living on social security is not easy , thank God I'm recieving food stamps and my daughter helps me .That being said , .my health care plan has been great and up to today has covered everthing , studies , quimos , medication . So I don't complain and give God the praise . We all have to go sometime , God knows when . Thank you guys for all your words of comfort and strenght together with faith and hope .
Eliminating pre and power simplifys things because it puts two units on one chasis plus you eliminate one pair of interconnects so going for an integrated really does make things easier for my daughter . I've decided on selling my turntable with 3 different cartridges plus all the equipment for installing the cartridges.
