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!)

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.

Just get a couple Hypex NC400 monoblocks and then never worry about amps again

@audioman58  I like the look of the jolida, but I’m not sure it’s powerful enough at 60wpc. I also really only need an amp and that’s and integrated
