I had amazing enjoyment with the Behringer EP4000. They are around $400 but you are paying for braun, not beauty. I demoed it against the Emotiva XPA2, Arcam AVR600, Exposure 2010S2, Outlaw RR2150 and Cary SLI-80 all of which did not have the raw strength to make them open up the way the Behringer did. I have since upgraded to 1.6 and I miss the MMGs. They are great speakers. Maybe I'll switch back...
