@greywolf, 

Can you tell us about the rest of your system?  What preamplifier are you using?  What are you listening habits? How loud do you like to listen?  What is it about the Classe that you like/don't like and/or reason for replacement? 

From what I can tell, that Musical Fidelity is a ~$4k-$5k amp.  Is that a good budget for you?
