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.

I had the Marantz PM7200. It has been in the Stereophile Recommended components the last two years. It is 95wpc and only about $500! Nice.

Used Bryston B-60, a great sounding little amp with an ironclad warranty.

Check out the DK Designs MKII. Several available here and have seen some as low as $1500.
Good luck!

I second Tgrisham in his recomendation of selecting your speakers first. Not knowing the speakers you will be using I would recomend the Musical Fidelity X150. It weighs in at a hefty 80WPC and at $1,000 US cant be beat.

If you like to check out a tube integrated for your price range, look into the SQ-88 from Quest for Sound, ask for Steve. A great amp and a nice place to deal with. The amp has a remote volume control as well. Just picked up one recently.
