If you can possibly stretch your budget (or save a while longer), you might want to check out the Odyssey Stratos. This is one of the best sounding amps I've ever had in my system(s), and at about $1K is one of the best bargains in high-end audio. I feel you would have to spend $3-5K to match or better it. The build quality is amazing. Also, it has a 20yr warranty. Check it out at http://www.odysseyaudio.com or give Klaus a call (317)299-5578.
