No frills balanced ss integrated amp?


Interested in what the membership recommends for a great sounding solid state integrated amp strictly for two channel audio.  Something that excels at the basics.  Parasound Halo seems well-regarded but the "no frills" modifier is included to try and avoid exactly such "all in one designs"; i.e., DON'T want something with DAC, phono pre, subwoofer control, tone controls, multi-channel output etc., etc..  Budget in the $2500-$3000 range.  Have a Hegel H200 now.  Don't ask why I'm thinking about another.  Not sure I can explain.  New preferred but would definitely consider used (esp., if still in production).  Thanks for the input.

How about the Marantz PM14S1? I have the older, PM15S2b and don't plan on parting with it for the foreseeable future.
Yamaha also makes a great competitor (I've read) with their A-S100 series as well. 

All the best,
