Take a look at the Emotiva power amps. The XPA-1L is especially nice for only $599 and comes with a 5 year warranty and 30 day in-home trial:
250 watts @ 8 ohm (0.1% THD)
500 watts @ 4 ohm (0.1% THD)
35 watts @ 8 ohm; Class A operation
Note: In Class A mode, under normal conditions, the XPA-1L operates in pure Class A mode at all power levels up to 35 watts, above this level it will automatically transition into Class A/B mode.
The XPA-2 is also a reall sweetheart for only $899. The Emo amps have been very well-reviewed and are well-built pieces of kit...
