What’s the most badass $2k amp I can get?

I want a super awesome amp. New or used. I have a fully balanced DAC and Pre so xlr balanced inputs would be nice, plus I have a nice pair of xlr just lying around. Also, I’m a sucker for meters. What should I get? It’s a bedroom system, not a big room appx 12x12
Speakers: Sierra 2ex  (86db sensitivity)
Streamer: Node2i
dac: gungnir multibit
pre: Freya+ (w killer NOS tubes!)

If you are into the purity of Vacuum tubes. Th e new Jolida Black ice
series is Very good  sounding 
 sound solid state can duplicate or beat unless you spend much more monies.

A used Anthem P2, it can drive any speaker and it runs cool even at full power.

I’m waiting for delivery of a Jolida 6802. They can be had for a very good price. It’s something you could look into. I’m quite anxious to receive mine.
