REGA OSIRIS. After hearing tihs gem, imho, it will put many pre-power combination a run for their money. That's how good this integrated amp from Roy Gandy.

Highly agreed.
Nothing beats the Osiris at this price level and way beyond imho.

Suggest taking a look at the new ModWright integrated.
ModWright Instruments | KWI 200 Integrated

Had the ModWright KWA-100SE, which is very musical. The KWI-200 should be well worth a demo!.
+ 1. For a warm, musical solid state integrated the Modwright is worth consideration. If your budget is a bit freer, i'd include the Dartzeel CTH-8550 and Vitus SIA-025 which can be switched between class A and class A/B power.

For a suprsinginly good value hybrid integrated, i'd also have a listen to the Unison Research Unico Secondo. If you're looking at pure tube integrateds, i'd include the Quad II, Leben CS-300XS or Leben CS-600. And i'd probably be drawn and quartered if I didn't include the classis Vac Phi Beta as well

My, those are big cans (but I prefer Boulder & Gryphon's approach...more, lower value caps = greater speed, reliability & higher damping factor)

After a recap (Clarity) and some tube-rolling, my Cary SLI-80 is truly a wonderful sounding amp. If you are into tubes at all, picking up a used SLI-80 and having the factory recap it will provide a terrific piece of gear.

At some point, when my ears can no longer detect the difference (old age - am 68 and lucky me, still have decent hearing), I might go back to SS with a 'full-function' remote.

I have 3 top contenders when it comes to integrated. '
Diablo 300, Gryphon
Isis, Analog Domain
Continuum S2, Jeff Rowland (owning it)

At this level there is no such thing as a bad product. Everything has to do with taste and matching with the rest of the equipment.

To each their own, but that definitely does not "look" awesome to me. Beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that.
