Best Integrated Amp for Confidence 5 speakers

The Confidence 5's require POWER, lots of it. My best results were with VTL MB450 monoblocks. 2nd was a Levinson 336. Smaller amps just can't awaken them. The 5's are a great speaker if set up correctly.

I'm a big Dynaudio fan, I have the Special 25's right now, the Confidence 5 is a wonderful speaker as well. I have found that Dyn's love power and volts comming down the line. I currently use the Musical Fidelity Trivista 300 integrated and LOVE it. It's a tube preamp and a solid state 350 watt at 8 ohms (700 @ 4 ohms) powerhouse that will drive anything IMHO. The power source is an outboard unit.
I have used the Rowland Concentra 1 and 2 with very good success and the Sim Audio Moon I-5, which is equally smooth as well.
My room is not much bigger than yours I'm at ~16x~19x 9. Dyns also need first reflection control in a big way. I have used the GIK 2" (2' x 4' x 2") with great success.
Hope this helps, all three of these integrated amps are in your price range, I don't think you will be disapointed with either, but if you can get a hold of a Trivista you may end up with the best of both worlds (tube and solid state).
Good luck and enjoy the amp hunt.

Mjw55, thanks for the feedback. I've been looking at the Trivista but haven't had a chance to audition yet. How would you characterize the sound and is the Trivista your preference of the integrateds you mentioned? I've been looking at the Rowland Concentras as well.
