Best 2-CH AMP at $2500

What is the best overall 2 channel amp out there, at the $2500 price point. I don't understand toobs, so limit discussion to solid state. Take into account company reputation, technical support, warranty, etc. Also, my interest lies strictly with the reproduction of music. This amp will NOT be part of a home theatre system.
Thanks and Merry Christmas.

In the name of full disclosure, I now have to note that since posting on XMAS eve, I found the amp I have been thirsting to try (Berning ZH270) and so I put my DNAs up for sale. FWIW, it would also be hard to go wrong with the recommended Classe', Bryston, and Plinius, IMO. Classe' and Bryston have great reps for customer service, as does SMc Audio.

Thanks for all your responses. I am leaning toward the Bryston...

I picked one up in Vancouver for 2k US
I auditioned many amps just prior to the purchase, the classe' and plinius are pushed hard in seattle. Over the years, I've come to appreciate an amp's ability to control speakers and the only other place I would look is ARC. I'm thrilled with my 4bsst, it actually made my wife a believer too!
