Seems like you are sold on the Rega. I have to say it is nice looking amplifier, and I like the speakers too. A little pricey but then you get the lifetime warranty (assuming you get that in Australia).

Denon PMA-A110 seems to fit, IMHO.
I had one (and a 2500NE) and it was a very good offering in AB Class for the money, no doubt way better performer than the Rega.
New 110th Anniversary Denon products with "ULTRA AL32"
Hello, how well do you know, the akm4490Q dac that the denon 8500h mounts is 768khz and 32 bits because it only supports usb, flac, etc. 192/24? What happens that denon layer? And now the ultra al32 comes out that can reach 386khz / 32, which is strange, right?

Don't forget Bryston. Depending on taste maybe not quite as sexy as the Rega, but the same kind of slim form.

Looks great, though it retails here for nearly double the price of the Rega.Don't forget Bryston. Depending on taste maybe not quite as sexy as the Rega, but the same kind of slim form.
Wow, really? I thought they were more similar than that in price.

Unfortunately not, AUD 11.2k vs 6k for the Rega over here.

If you like the price, features and appearance of the Rega, then maybe you should buy it. Though the performance data is skimpy, it suggests that it's good enough to sound pretty much like any other reasonably well-designed amplifier, hopefully it doesn't run excessively hot.
Pickings are slim for integrated amplifiers not made in lower-wage countries, and they're often far more expensive (McIntosh, Luxman, Accuphase).
Linn Majik DSM and Perreaux may be worth a look too.

I wonder why Bryston is so much marked up over there. Even compared to Anthem (also Canadian) looking on the same site (Class A Audio).
Anyway, I agree if you like the Rega it looks good to me too.
Non sequitur.
I didn't claim that integrated amps are "limiting." I asked why the poster was considering only integrateds rather than also considering separates.

Reminding you exactly what you wrote:The OP's thread title is "integrated amps made in the UK/US/EU" and his first line is:
Clearly he wants to discuss and likely purchase an INTEGRATED amplifier, wouldn't you say? Number one rule in sales: listen to the customer. He already has a good idea on what he is interested in.
Have a nice evening.

Sadly these are all "highend" companies so it might be difficult to find good measurements.

What are your favorite modern pieces?

Ones with plenty of inputs, functionality, build quality and performance, such as these:
The top Yamahas. S701/1000/2100/2200/3000 etc
The top Denons
Some of the top Marantz's
The Rega the OP likes
Luxmans (they have new limited run L-595ASE, bet it costs two arms and a leg)
Accuphase.
The medium range Rotels as they are great value and well made.
Is that enough?

Great stuff.
The T+A PA2000r integrated retails over here for $13k.
For that price, I would want actual T&A to burst out of the box when I open it.
Whereas the Rega is $6k. I couldn't find the other two locally. I've placed an order for the Rega with the local dealer. Supposedly will arrive December/Jan.
Very seriously tempted to on-send it to Amir...
