Be very careful, not all well reviewed amplifiers, no matter at what price are necessarily that good. A lot of the members of the hifi listening public and reviewers alike are sold mainly on the hifi nature of the sound, not its musicality. Musicality seems to be a more after thought when pieces of equipment are described. Indeed I think the idea of musicality is a word that many believe they understand but donot in my opinion fully appreciate.
In which case I believe your choice is very limited. There are only two or three companies whose name comes under the banner of sounding musical time after time and I own them.Jadis and audio note.
It is a joy to not have to analyse the system and just be absorbed and overwhelmed by what the musicaians are trying to do. Indeed if this bit of the hi fi process is done correctly then the rest of the hi fi bits not suprisingly will also be right too.
