Looking for great Amp for Martin Logan Prodigy woofers


I am rebuilding my audio system; centered around getting the most out of the Martin Logan Prodigy.  I have Audio Research VT 100 (intended to drive the panel section).  Now I am looking for a second amp (stereo or Mono blocks) to drive the low end.  I've seen a lot of people using McIntosh, but I am not going that way.  I want a used, well-built and rugged, yet musical amp, (like the Krell FPB 300).  The budget is $2.5k  Does anyone think Krell is the way to go? Suggestions please.
Thank you

They xover at 250hz, so just a Class-D for the bass will be fine that’s what their good at fast dry bass should match up to the speed of the esl's better.
Also get one with input level controls and that has higher gain than your esl amp, as you’ll have to match up the gains.

And it’s also good to have level controls on the bass amp because on hot humid days the esl panel looses a couple of db efficiency, and the sound "can" get a touch bass heavy, but with the level controls you just back off the bass a touch on those days
