The Sanders Magtech is excellent, and I've seen them down to $2900 used.

brauser....I remember that combination...wonderful...   Also loved the Infinity Servostatic 1A's with ARC. In the old days, I thought ARC was the very best one can get. In  recent years, tubes and s/s have merged their sound.   I use Ayre stuff now which I love

maybe a suitable topology using MOSFETs for example?
