Synergy with your other components is key. In your price range the McIntosh C220 tune pre amp is certainly a contender.
I have 2.6 Maggies driven by McIntosh 501s via a C220 pre amp that I paid 2,500 for. After years of searching, I quit changing components and just got into my music.
Your ears may differ in sound choice, but think synergy between amp, pre amp and speakers.
