Integrated Amplifiers with neutral sound

Besides the Bryston and Simaudio what other Integrated
Amplifiers would sound good with warm sounding speakers.
Thanks in advance on Your opinions.

Coda CSIb

Entry level Simaudio in it's place sounded too warm and sluggish (though I do have a Simaudio CD player). That's well below your limit though. In the same vain as Exposure, I would try LFD. Never heard an LFD amp personally, though. Only read about them.
