Search for miracle integrated


Hello All,

I'm on a search for a very specific type of integrated. I am upgrading my system from the top of the stream down. I go all digital / Lossless quality or higher so the logical start was with the DAC. I just received my Yggdrasil which I absolutely LOVE and feel that I got a much better value than I was expecting (even with all the praise online it met and exceeded my expectations).

My quest continues with the integrated. I am looking for a company that spends very little on marketing and works to move as much of the value for the money to the product itself. Very high value is important to me, I want to get value above the price and I don't want to pay for anything I don't need (such as a built-in DAC as I already have one). The more musical and the higher the clarity the better. My short list is pretty short- the SimAudio Moon 600i and Ayre's integrated.  Some other factors are below. I typically buy new but I'm open to a good value in a used product as well.

Budget (only for the integrated): $8K+/-
Music preference: classical, light rock, pop
End speakers:  It is between Accoustic Zen Crescendo / Vandy Quatros / Wilson Sophias / Revel Salon Ultimas 
Power: 150 WPC+ into 8 ohm

Not that you don't have enough suggestions to sort through, but Blue Circle Audio meets all your criteria. I doubt there is anything more musically complete than their integrated amps at any given price point.  

@mgmarcus  Good point. Gilbert at Blue Circle is a design genius and a powerful engineer. His FtTH2 hybrid integrated and his BC 022i integrated are superb.
Not sure how the Simaudio dropped off your list, but this is a definite must hear. I upgraded from separates to the 600i and haven't looked back. This is a great integrated and took my system to a new level from Rogue audio power and Audio Research pre. 
Thanks to everyone for all your input. A very interesting turn of events has taken place at RMAF- Schiit is going to offer a 400w monoblock amp fully balance and A/B into 8ohm for $700 each.. That's Nuts!!! A new pre-amp also at $700 is joining the lineup. I'm going to add both of those to the list if reviews are good. The challenge is that they are not integrated but at that price it might be time to buy a new audio rack and have an all Schiit setup. 
$700 only buy excellent cable, if you are very lucky, not monoblock, unless perhaps it is made by slaves from parts made by slaves. I do not buy $700 monoblocks regardless of how they sound, period.
