Amp to power surround channels for MUSIC ONLY

I have a Lyngdorf stereo amp and am looking for a 3/4 channel power amp (prefer not integrated amp; budget say 2-3k) to power my center and surround channels. This is for music only. Almost all multi channel amps are for movies; they don’t fit the bill—I don’t play movies, don’t care about Atmos, etc. Classical, opera and jazz; I don’t turn volume to 11. 

I want a relatively transparent amp that won’t mess with the recorded sound. I have a lot of 3,4,5 channel SACDs, DSD and FLAC downloads. Need power amp to go with my Parasound P7 multichannel pre-amp. My speakers will be Tannoy with sensitivity of 89 & 90dB.

Recommendations? Thanks for any help.

I'm using Class D audio kit amps I built for center and surrounds. They sound great for that purpose, and have good parts quality.

My center and surrounds are KEFs, my Tannoy 12" HPD custom built main speakers run on a great-sounding 3C24 custom tube amp built by Paul Birkeland.

I get great sound from this budget sound system.

Dan
