new amp for system


What would be a good balanced amp match, under $3000, for the following system....Meridian 508.24 cd player, bat vk5i preamp w/ nos amperex pq 7308 tubes, cj 2500A amp, arial 7B speakers, siltec balanced interconnects, nordost spm speaker cable. I listen to older rock, pink floyd, led zepplin, crosby,stills,nash,and young, yes. please, be nice. I've been reading audiogon for the past two years, but I didn't have my own computer to communicate until now. Thanks!

2 amps that I'm looking at with meridian front end, cj premier 14, classe ca 200, mit cables and thiel 3.6 are:

McIntosh M501
CJ premier 350

I like classe but I don't think I can get by the new cosmetics and I haven't heard them yet but rumor has it they are very good. Good luck - I'm about to pull the trigger myself.
