how about something like a series one magico s3 - there were a few here that had a price in the 11-14k range. the series one s1 could be had at well below budget there is/was an s1mk2 listed a week or so back in the same price range.
if you want something less "straight to the source", raidhos might be up your alley. the ceo told me he likes pairing them with nagra (along with a few other brands)
dealer disclaimer: i carry raidho, but i do not carry magico
