Which Integrated with Power,Current, and Bass


In your system, at a show, in a showroom, or at a friend's, what integrated amplifier have you heard produces solid low end (bass), highs etc consistently with whatever speakers you heard it with?  I'm looking for a solid state integrated in the $2500 and under range that can accomplish the above with my Klipshch RF 7II which although seemingly efficient are a challenging load dropping down in the bass region below 4 ohms.  I listen mostly to classic jazz with a little rock, r&b mixed in.  Or, which manufacturer have you heard consistently produce integrated amplifiers producing solid low end with whatever speakers? caveat: I don't like anything lean or that tends towards lean!  Would love to try an integrated that doubles down, but that seems out of my price range with the exception of the Krell (used).  Need a fairly smooth amp up top because the Klipsch horn can sometimes get harsh. Not interested in tubes though. Currently using Anthem 225 but not convinced.

Have thought about:
Vincent SV-237mk
Musical Fidelity M6si
Yamaha A-S1100
Parasound Hint 6 or Halo
Krell S-300i
Musical Fidelity A5

The Anthem STR is a really nice piece.  I don't own one, but have heard it a number of times at Desco Audio here in Olympia.  

You should add the Peachtree Nova 300 (or the new 500) to your list.  It has driven everything I've thrown at it with ease and authority and really makes my Electra 1008 BE speakers sing.

Much Thanks! for the follow up. I look forward in reading more about the integrated chosen. In a different price-range, I am considering an Ayre AX-5 Twenty Integrated amp. To date, I have always been a separates supporter. I must say that the Integrated Amp has come a long way from very humble origins. In 2019, there is a plethora of amps for consideration, Entry level all of the way up to Reference level, with plenty inventory in between.

Happy Listening!
Jafant,
Must be nice to have that AX-5 up for consideration! My budget isn’t what it used to be- blew through way too many dollars in audiophiledom.
The Krell S300i is the most underrated, underpriced piece of equipment I have ever owned.  150 watts and doubles to 300.  Bass and control like a massive mono block. It's good, very good and cheap.
