Levinson 5805
I have not auditioned them but wouldn't diss them even if I didn't prefer the sound. They have great resell and have been around for a long time. They must be doing something right, and at this price level everything really comes down to personal ...

They do carry McIntosh, so that is still an option.  
Mark Levinson integrated powerhouse with all the bling
I replaced a 320S, 332, 360S combo with the 5805 after a lightning strike. ( the amp survived but... ) I have been very happy with the results, and now have a 5101 on order.  
Levinson 5805 Integrated
I replaced a 326s running to a 332 with the 5802 and am very happy with the results. It has a great lively sound to it.  
Getting back in the game
You can get a NAD master series M10 brand new for about 2700. Maybe look for a B stock?  
anyone have experience with "replacement cost" insurance, and Allstate?

Mark Levinson pre-amplifiers compared
My 326s just got taken out by a lightning strike, I am still waiting for the tech to declare it dead or not. If it is dead, I will then find out exactly what Allstate means by "replacement cost" insurance.
