Recommendations on Integrated Amps

I'm looking at purchasing a solid state integrated amp (only new) in the $1,000-$1,500 price range and 70+ WPC and wanted to get some recomendations in this range. I will be purchasing speakers to go with this amp later on. I am looking at the Primare I21, but have not auditioned it yet. Any thoughts on this amp? Or any other suggestions. I listen to all types of music. Any input would be appreciated.

The Portal Panache suits your description well. Not heard it but receives good reviews.

Creek 5350SE and Naim NAIT 5i. Both Class A recommendations in your price range.

If I may suggest that you decide on speakers before you buy an amp. The chemistry between the two is very important. That said, I love my Creek 5350SE running Von Schweikert VR-1s. It is clean, detailed, dark quiet and with those speakers gives alot of space around and texture to instruments. I mostly listen to classical and jazz with some bluegrass and rock music thrown in. I know there are alot of amps out there because I was asking the same question a few months ago. I found my answer, good luck with yours!
