Recommendations for a new amp

Room dimensions are currently at 7m length and 3m width. The couch is 2.8m away from the front speakers and TV. I'll be moving all hardware to a 6m length and 5m width room in the near future so I'd like to future proof myself too. In the current scenario where I'm only looking at purchasing an integrated amp, are there any out there that can run the front T 300w speakers effortlessly?

Apologies for all of the questions :)

Assuming you have 2.5 to 3m ceiling, for "effortless" you probably need around 100 to 150W per channel, but in your future larger room 6mX5mX?m), assuming ceiling height no more than 3m, and if you sit further back you are going to need more power. If you maintain your current 2.8m listening distance, then 150W should do it, but to be more future proof I would suggest 200-300W for the T's

Most integrated amps in the <$5000 range offer moderate power output, somewhat comparable to flagship receivers from Denon and Yamaha. That's why some of us here recommended AVRs, and you can add a 2 or 3 channel power amplifier for the front 3 channels to get more than enough power for the bigger Chameleon Ts. That really is a better practical way to do it. Since you are only considering integrated amps, you should probably look at those by Anthem, Bryston, Parasound Halo, Hegel and maybe even NAD and Yamaha's to suit your budget.

If you are open to class D amps, then you can get much more power for less money if you don't mind the look of the pro amps such as those by Crown Audio. Otherwise you can check out Bel Canto and Lyngdorf's on the higher end side, that gain, may not get you enough power depending on your listening distance.
