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

I want a super awesome amp. New or used. I have a fully balanced DAC and Pre so xlr balanced inputs would be nice, plus I have a nice pair of xlr just lying around. Also, I’m a sucker for meters. What should I get? It’s a bedroom system, not a big room appx 12x12
Speakers: Sierra 2ex  (86db sensitivity)
Streamer: Node2i
dac: gungnir multibit
pre: Freya+ (w killer NOS tubes!)

There’s a McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe available on EBay for $2100.  Puts out 300Wpc into 8 Ohms and 600Wpc into 4 Ohms.  Is that badass enough?  Oh, and it’s an awesome amp too.

Time to join the 21st Century with Ric Schultz EVS 1200 (see my thread).

It’s a phenomenal amp that should drive your speakers with no issues, and it only comes one way BALANCED
