Budget Audiophile Looking For Amplifier Suggestions

Lots of amps do this. They sound great.

Focusing too much on the alleged negatives of each technology leaves you buying nothing but massive Class A amps. Listen instead.

yea add muse model 6, McCormack DNA 125.

As a 10+ year dealer for Meadowlark and a 20 + year owner of Heron i speakers, Ospreys, and Kestrel Hotrods I feel somwhat qualified to chime in.  your speakers are exceptional.  Amplification is a personal choice almosy as much as speakers.  An Ayre v3 is a killer match.  A power.modules aria amp might be even better.  A Rogue Audio stereo 100 will make you smile every note you play.

There are a lot of great choices mentioned, but I would add a McCormack DNA-1 to the list.

Simaudio Moon W-3; a great Canadian amp. Remember the Canadian dollar is only worth about $.75, so this should be within your budget:
