Downsizing advice

I'm currently running an Air Tight ATC1, c-j Premiere 11A, pre power combo and I am considering downsizing due to financial reasons. That being said, I still want to have a great sounding stereo. Any recommendations on a great sounding integrated in the $2.5-3K range. Tube or solid state, it should be able to drive my Sonus Faber Grand Pianos. Suggestions welcome.

i'm with suggestions for plinius 8200 that has a well-controlled bass and tube-like mids and highs. you can also get it used for $1.5k and be surprise how good this unit for the price and how can it beat separates.

Look into the Conrad Johnson CAV50. You may find one for around $1500

I think you can down size and still go with seperates and still stay in your budget. I'm not that familiar with your gear but judging by your choices you might like the (all used) better C-J solid state seperates or the better Electrocompaniet integrated.
