S.S. Replacement for Jolida 302B w/ Silverlines?

I'm looking for a S.S. replacement for my Jolida 302B
powering Silverline 17.5 monitors. Source is Jolida cd player. Wire is Audioart. Listening preferences: mostly
acoustic Jazz from 50's through present and various types of acoustic folk/Newgrass/Celtic etc. with occasional forays into Classic Rock and electric blues. Just getting lazy, I guess-- don't want to deal with biasing an amp and replacing tubes. Budget for amp + pre-amp or S.S. integrated = $ 1500 - 2000. American-made would be nice, too. Thanks!

Depending on your appetite for second-hand (quite old) equipment, i would go for Forte 4 amp...Class A, sweet, very powerful and well within your budget as an amp. Will drive Silverlines well which i recall are reasonably efficient. There is a Forte 6 amp,not quite as refined as the smaller Forte 4, but good.

audible illusions 3 preamp? tubed but much less maintenance than tubed amp...exceptional value for money and 2 here for sale at $1000.
