Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less

I'm auctioning off my Aragons to put towards the purchase of 'my last amp'. Wondering what people think. I have a Krell HTS as a preamp and Dynaudio 3.3's as mains. All I'm concerned with at this time is two channel sound...home theater can take a back seat for a while. My 'short' list is made up of Mark Levinson 335 or 336,Krell FPB300C or perhaps the FPB600c if I can find a deal,Classe 401, Plinius SA250. My musical tastes lean towards classic rock and jazz.What do you think?

Try a Cello Duet 350, if you can find one. Sweet, fast, and 350wpc.

Far and away the best Solid State amp under $10,000.00 I have heard is the Gamut D200 ($5,500.00). Hell,it may be the Best Amp of any kind at ANY PRICE for a stable load that operates efficiently with 200 WPC. see www.gamutaudio.com for tech info.

The Aloia is an excellent choice here. I have been using a number of amplifiers well over 10K and find that the Aloia is easily a contender in the 10-20K amp wars.

smooth and clear. a must audition if you listen to jazz and vocals. anyone using a tube front end?(sugg). what cables are you using? anyone biamping? I might get another one before demand drives up price.
