I highly recommend that you give the Octave MRE 130's a listen in that price range. You might be able to be find them at dealers for an introductory price as they are just now being carried.

I think you will have some tough decisions at that price point, that is why I suggest that you listen to a variety of amps before you splunk down that much money.
Oh, I also own MRE 130's and can speak of their merits driving B&W N800's with ease.
