Are you asking so you can get an idea what general direction to look in. Or just tire kicking?
Because often a better question is what amps didn't you like and why?
Me personally, I did not like McIntosh's integrated amps. The x100 series to me lacked dynamics and sounded vailed or rolled off somewhat. And the Pioneers were just over the top in brightness. The Yamaha's were nice as were many of the Onkyo's. But you have to research what models are worth it.
Sansui makes some of the prettiest stuff i've ever seen. But fairly unremarkable sounding. Marantz has some all time greats and some stinkers as well. Actually not much different than their receivers.
