power amp ideas for less than $3000


updating my main front amplifier in my 9.1.6 theater system. front left and right are B&W 803D.  thoughts on amps under $3000? 

i have been exploring Classe CT-2300 and Krell Kav-250a

thanks  in advance !

This Van Alstine should fit the bill. My friend is using that amp with his Harbeth M30.1s and is raving about it!

 

I'm partial to Classe.

Overbuilt with oodles of power. Weighs in at around 100lbs.

Assuming you’re still using the Rotel amp, what specific improvements and sound characteristics are you looking for?
