What 2 channel Amp would you Buy for $6k?

I plan on spending no more than $6k for power amp (tube or SS), but would like to hear from others what amp they’d get. I’ve done plenty of research, but honestly, I’m burn’t out and now would like to hear from others.

Pass build great amps for great powerful sound. McIntosh also make very good amps with tremendous resale value. Parasound would offer a great sound, stellar designer (JC) and the best value, most power. My two cents. BTW I own Parasound... Also if those 802s have an internal amp, you can go with a tube amp. ARC and Line Magnetic Audio make some killer tube amps. Line Magnetic SET would be my first choice.

You’ll be amazed at what 3.5 watts can do, with some good SET friendly speakers (90+ dB efficiency), like the AN Es.

I have heard these several times, and they are excellent. Lots of power, and they don't sound like Class D amps. Liquid and clean. ArionAudio.com.
