Hi Keith,
I think the "best" will depend on your amplifier and preferences (sonic, aesthetic, and ergonomic), but these came to mind in ignorance of those preferences (in alphabetical order):
Audio Note UK (Whichever model is within budget. They have many models...)
Lamm Industries LL2.1 Deluxe (especially with NOS tubes)
New Audio Frontiers Amati
Thomas Mayer 10Y
Thoress
VAC Renaissance Mk V
I haven't heard the Atma-Sphere MP1 outside of show conditions and can't comment but some people seem to enjoy it.
disclaimer: I sell Lamm and NAF
