Best integrated amps under $9k
Your original post says to me that you are seeking sound that is detailed with exceptional clarity and separation at low to moderate volume level in a somewhat large room... That should be your goal in a speaker. Then fit the gear to it..  
Best integrated amps under $9k
So you need speaker also within that 9k? Or you have speakers already that have not been mentioned? Speakers first is the rule of thumb, then match amp to speakers...

ps audio memory player vs esoteric
68pete,Do you have any thoughts, now that you know what level the OP is asking about? 
AMR DP-777, what am I missing ?
The preamp section definitely needs its own burn-in time and it is a long one, if memory serves. There are other long time or past owners on here that spoke of this a while back. Count on it needing more that 500 hours. Mine did and I remember som...

Fsmithjack,In your digital thread, I recommended the Wells Audio Innamorata over the Claytons... I just thought I would reiterate due to a video review recently posted on AVShowrooms.com. You should find it helpful. Go check it out...

Wells Audio Akasha Amplifier- Any owners here?
I demoed the Innamorata, then purchased one. Loved how clear everything sounds, at that same time as being smooth, rich and with great texture. Not a hint of a 'resistor sound' and no drawbacks of tubes. Like having the best of both, with the soun... 
Prima Luna Premium Pre
"Importer of the brand, not exactly impartial observer..."Yes, but he has some points, doesn't he? 
Where should I spend my $2000?
Yes on room treatments. THEN evaluate your system! 
Luxman L-590AX
I thought the tone controls worked very well and did not add 'color' at all. The treble control worked great! Better than the bass control. But bass is so room dependent, so that is probably why it didn't work great in the "+" side for me. I dint ... 
Luxman L-590AX
I still think with system matching the DAC and cables to tastes, you can get this amp to be 'nice' to bad recordings. I found quit warm and forgiving, yet still detailed enough, musical and very enjoyable... You are going to have to hear it yourse...
