Give the Onkyo A-9555 a listen.  It's a very nice Integrated Amp.  I've been very happy with mine.  It's very sweet and smooth and doesn't have any HF harsh or ear fatigue, very smooth that can listen for hours.  Overall it's very well balanced, clean and clear detailed sound and slightly on the warm side.

We just got done reviewing the Valve Audio integrateds and they are quite good.
They make a 100wpc model (1695) and a 200wpc model (3000) that have tube
input stages with FET output stage.  Five inputs and a killer remote!

Great sound, very simple box and good value.  Music Direct is the US importer.

Another amp I really love, but low power is the Sugden A21SE.  30wpc Class A
(and you can almost make pancakes on it, it runs WARM)

One of the most non solid state amps.  About 3500.

The prima luna stuff isn't bad, But I'd probably pick the STingray.  The Manley
amp has a little more detail and resolution (but good NOS EL84's are a bit spendy).

The Prima luna sounds a little more vintage and with the auto bias a little easier
to use.

Lots of good choices!!
