Josephs like power. If you want a neutral to warm sound I would look at AVM. The Ovation SA 6.3 is an incredible power amp and is on the lower end of your budget. Plenty of power and wonderful levels of detail.
If you want something a touch more forward (josephs are not bright speakers) the Chord Ultima 5 would be a nice choice. Chord has oodles of power and is very difficult to clip. The new Ultimas are nowhere near as bright as the old SPMs.
Full disclosure, I am a dealer for both but they really are brilliant products
