I have several kits, including the new Technics Su-R1000 easily driving Floor standing B&Ws with ease and it is an amazing 10K digital amp. However, as the OP has indicated a preference for Class A/B amps, my experience with those is also profound. I know many responses refer the Luxman 590. It is an excellent amp. Personally, I have McIntosh separates in my main system and a MA-:5300 running LS 50s in a small offi e set up.
All produce excellent yet different signature sounds. My current favorite though is the new MICHI Line. I heard both the MX 3 and the MX5 and they are on your price point, heavy well made and amazingly dynamic. They range from. $6 to about $10k and are quite a package.
Whatever you choose as always is subjective to your personal spund tastes and peripheral equipment being amplified. Good luck in your purchase.
