Pls Recommend Integrated Option for A B Speakers

Hi!
I am wanting to move up from a standard home theater setup (I have a great Denon and still love it) to a bit more higher end. I am wanting the ability to use/ switch between two sets of speakers (A - B) like my receiver. I also own a Will Vincent custom Dynaco ST-70 setup so, my tastes are open to any recommendations. I keep considering tube, solid state, mono blocks, speaker switching stand alone solutions, higher receivers, and especially leaning towards integrated amplifiers with the ability to switch from A to B (or utilize both). I have a stable of speakers from old school Acoustic Research bookshelves to Klipsch RP-900, and plan on expanding that from this starting point. My budget is modest but, I can save for touching the lower grips of the high end. I should mention that I love all types of music with newer country music being my least favorite and jazz being my favorite (I also enjoy alternative, shoegaze, electronica, reggae, dub, classic rock so, wide love for music).

Thank you for any advice or opinions!

Budget?

Hard to say without knowing your budget, but I had a very affordable Cambridge Audio Topaz SR10 integrated amp, which for it's modest price was pretty good. It had the capability of switching between A and B speakers, as ell as playing both at the same time.

Currently I have an integrated amp that I love (and planning to keep forever)- Accuphase e-280. It had te same AB speaker ability. If it is within your budget, Accuphase e-480 sounds heavenly.

Thanks for the reply and recommendations! I am hovering around the $2k - $5k mark. I would love to try the Accuphase e-280!
