With your budget, get a pair of VTA M125 mono block amps at 120 watts each. You can build them as a kit for all of $2300, or get them fully assembled and tested for about $3000 - less without tubes.
If you feel that you don’t need or want that kind of power, VTA has the ST-120, 60 wpc tube amp which is a Mac 275 killer. Full kit is $1200 and fully assembled/tested at about $1700. Without tubes fully assembled is $1455.
