integrated amp for $1500?

okay, here it goes...i plan to change a little my system...i'm looking to get an int. amp with a black face, with tight and deep bass (not mushy like the CAV50), nice smooth and extended treble (not screechy like Krell150i), with at least 25W/channel...i don't mind tubes or solid state...is there anything out there that can satisfy my requirements?...i don't mind used either...thanx for any suggestions...

I would look into a SS McIntosh Mc6450 (or 6400 for phono). Excellent strong bass and crystal yet silky highs with a mid body and soul that rivals powerful tubes. The Mc6500 is excellent too but out of your price range. Good luck.

I really love my VTL IT85 (even tho I'll be upgrading in a few months): awesome sound, tight bass, liquid mids, highs...

and it has a ton of features: processor in, pre-out, remote, great looks

Check out Audiomat Arpege. 30w/ch Tube integrated with black translucent plexi faceplate that allows you to see the glowing bits of the tubes. VERY nice sounding stock and really special with NOS Mullard input tubes. No remote though so you have to actually get up to turn it on/off, louder etc.
