Need help deciding which power amp to buy.


I am looking for a power amp in the $5K price range or less with balanced inputs to use with a Raysonic CD-168 CD player and Alon Lotus Elite speakers (these are identical to the Alon Viper II). Would appreciate any thoughts and suggestions.

Thanks both of you for your suggestions. I am now considering maybe a class D amp with balanced inputs like a Nuforce, Bel Canto, ARC or maybe a Cary. Just have to narrow it down on what will be the best one to go with.
In reviews and shows where Carl has set up this model, I've seen references to
deHavilland Aries 845-G:

ahh... but they're more than 5k and not balanced... never mind.
