power amp ideas for less than $3000

I own and really enjoy my Arion Audio S500.  Yes, it's a switching amp, but it sounds great, not like some switching amps.  Very clean, neutral sounding and gobs of power from a small, lightweight, cool running box.  500 watts per channel, in your price range.  Mike Kalellis designed and builds these.  He is a talented designer and a great guy.

thanks to all for the feedback 

Here’s another excellent amp in your price range…

My awesome Krell KSA200s that’s for sale would be bad..s! 😜

I have Vandersteen 3a Signature speakers... my Preamp is a McIntosh C2200 which I view as a keeper, my power amp was dying and I was searching for something different. I took a chance on Two Schiit Tyr Monoblocks, wasn’t exactly sure how this would work... WELL... simply awesome. The bass is considerably better, the midrange is more detailed with greater depth and the overall soundstage improved tremendously... these big Schiit’s are keepers too. Definitely recommend a tube preamp like my McIntosh with the Solid State Schiit Tyr poweramps... great combination. I interfaced the C2200 to the Tyr’s via XLR. Prior to discovering the Tyr's I was leaning towards Bryston or Parasound.
