I used to own the Conrad Johnson MV60...the MV60SE (available here in your budget) is more powerful and more linear...but still a beautiful amp. Should drive bookshelves well. I drove them with SF Guarneris for years.
Very good reviews...i remember one suggested it was mostly like to end up on the 'all time classic' list. I agree.
