What’s the most badass $2k amp I can get?

If you are into the purity of Vacuum tubes. Th e new Jolida Black ice
series is Very good  sounding 
 sound solid state can duplicate or beat unless you spend much more monies.

helloAndrew for  maybe less then $2k they have very powerfullmonoblocks 120wpc tube transformers are direct coupled to the outputs a ton of power 
call underwoood wally  free shipping 
and a bunch off $$ for Xmas. It would sound Great. Trust me on this one.

First question ,most important,
what speakers are you using,, and their efficiency. Then you can say here are choices for most wpc is not the best 
audio Flight ,great hand built Amplifiers from Italy Solid State very high current 
$4k integrated ,on Audio gone you can get for maybe $2200. This refined detailed sound . I owned a audio store
for years synergy counts ,you start by listing your whole system , just amplifier 
or maybe a integrated amp,vacuum tube, solid state, class D ?

For Solid state the Very high end Audia flight precision built in Italy. This integrated is $4k ,but on Audiogon you can possibly get it for around $2200 it is a great amplifier and very vacuum tube like in many ways.
