Best integrated amp for 10K

Currently changing system to match new Quad electrostatics. Looking at tube amp/preamps to match with Quads, but concerned over limited space in home theatre cabinet. Heard great things about VAC Sigma 160i and Ayon Audio Triton III integrated amps as being fabulous for the money. Budget around $10k. Any thoughts from people with these 2 units as to matching with the Quads? Any other options?

Please look at the Luxman L-590AX, Class A Integrated priced at $10,500. See: http://www.onahighernote.com/luxman/?c=8&id=56

I like mine very much for use with my Sonus Faber Auditor M Speakers.

Hegel H300; product of the year by some reviewers; and less expensive than your budget.

The Atma-Sphere M-60's can be upgraded with internal volume control. If you have a single source system this could be an option.

I'd second the Hegel H-300 which is great bang for the buck. I can't recommend Luxman or Ayon (in the case of the Triton) as they are made in China. And I certainly wouldn't recommend a $10k tube integrated to drive Quad's which are 86db.
