I was in the same boat and recently purchase a new pair of Studio2's, which are hands down absolutely fantastic.
Obviously there are a ton of great options available and I can only give my perspective and hopefully you will have the opportunity to try some items out.
As many have already stated, Pass is a great fit (no surprise) and is what I eventually went with (mono's). Really hard to beat pure class A and with your budget you should be able to find something.
I have a big enough room so heat isn't an issue and well, I'm not in this to please others about "efficiency" of class A v.s. D or whatever. They are truly awesome amps and highly recommended. Super dynamic and really don't fall short in any area.
I almost went with a int60 and I'm sure would have been happy, but I figured I would have been always wondering about the mono's. Good luck.
