What amplifier for Magneplanar MG3 for less than ?

I am searching for the right amp to give me excellent staging. I listen mainly to jazz, classical and some popular music at moderate to low volumes. I am currently using a Bryston 4B. I have a YS Audio Symphonies + preamplifier and a YS Audio Concerto line amp. I have an Oracle Premier with a Rega 600 tone arm and a Grado Sonata Reference Cartridge. I also have a Meridian 507 CD player and silver wire interconnects. There are so many amplifiers to chose from and I would like to spend $3K or less.

Get a used Levinson 23.5 which can be had for $2500
or thereabouts. Built like a brick commode house,
excellent imaging and soundstaging, solid bass, runs
cool. I used the preceeding model 23 with MG-IIIa's
and it was a wonderful match. The 27.5 is a good alternate
choice with similar sound but lower power output.
