Check out the Plinius stuff. I bought a used 8150 integrated and the sound is unbelievable. To my ears these two pieces sound amazing together. You should be able to get a used one for $1100 to $1400 depending on the seller. Before the Plinius I was using a Audio Refinement. The Audio Refinement is pretty good but compared to the Plinius it sounds like a transistor radio.
