You didn't mention a price range. If I were looking a couple that would be on my list.
The Peachtree Audio 220
Vincent Audio's hybrid (sorry forgot model#)
& Line Magnetic, LM has been getting good press and comments. They make a low power single end or a powerful amp with KT120's.
Also, depending on power and price NAD was on many of the audio rags best choice lists.
If you have the budget Pass has a pure Class A integrated the Int 30 or a 150 wpc A/B integrated. In my opinion would be a step up from any of the mentioned.

price range $2000.00 or less
The NAD, Vincent & Peachtree are in the $2k range, NAD begins way below that. A really decent deal I remembered is Musicdirect has the Krell s300i for under $1800.00 with a 30 day return if not happy. Krell would be very powerful and controlled sound, strong bass with a tight grip and good transient response. It's not going to sweeten the sound or make it sound warm though if that's what you are into. The Peachtree has a switchable tube buffer to allow for two different type presentations, if memory serves I believe it also has a built in DAC. NAD has integrated with built in DAC as well, some with a digital amp section for cool running, little power consumption and typically good sound with ample power.
The Line Magnetic 211IA is in the $1700 range I believe.
Is there a manufacturer or dealer website with comprehensive pricing (USD $) for the Line Magnetic product line? I've found bits and pieces here and there via online reviews but not in one convenient location. Thanks.
Here's a dealer website, one may have to contact them for price and I'm not sure if selling territory is limited in any way.
I believe there was a time when the prices were stated on the Tone Imports website. That's not the case anymore. Although I don't believe the prices have changed that much, best bet would be to call a Tone dealer to get a quote.
My pick would be the Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum with KT120 tubes at $2295 MSRP, or under $2K from just about any dealer unless he's a hardass. ;-)
