What 2 channel Amp would you Buy for $6k?

I plan on spending no more than $6k for power amp (tube or SS), but would like to hear from others what amp they’d get. I’ve done plenty of research, but honestly, I’m burn’t out and now would like to hear from others.

Although my ‘take’ on them and your own differs somewhat, I read you are well pleased. That’s great. I honestly felt they were the more ttransparent of the two listening to them on Mac Speakers. More lively. A tick less colorful than the Big 602 which was IMHO a very good amp.. therefore, didn’t think on 802s it was the best possible fit. Glad it turned out otherwise in your outfit. Listen long and prosper.
