Best amp for Salon 2

I am new here and working on my first setup. I was able to find an excellent deal on Salon 2 as the shop was getting rid of floor displays. Unfortunately they only carry Anthem STR and Mark Levinson in pre-amp and amp. I just heard Anthem and they sounded good. Mark Levinson is significantly expensive. Looking at the specs I could not make out much difference. This set up is going to last for years for me. Are there any better amps out there for Salon 2 ? I would prefer to stay below $25K.

Thank you everyone for excellent suggestions. It was a tough call for me. I finally ordered Syphonic Line 40th Anniversary edition a couple of weeks ago.
@p59teitel Thanks for confirming as well.

You're welcome. And congratulations on your choice - I haven't heard the 40th Anniversary SL Kraft yet, but I'm told it is truly excellent.

No need of these kind of beasts nowadays. Old technology. But wish you a lot of fun with your Salons!

The guy I sold my salon2’s to loved the mc601’s. I bought the newer mc611’s for my speakers and really like them, not just brute strength, but very good at resolving details and image placement. With the salon2 just bring 500watts to the party, per channel if you really want to hear what you paid for
