Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less

I'm auctioning off my Aragons to put towards the purchase of 'my last amp'. Wondering what people think. I have a Krell HTS as a preamp and Dynaudio 3.3's as mains. All I'm concerned with at this time is two channel sound...home theater can take a back seat for a while. My 'short' list is made up of Mark Levinson 335 or 336,Krell FPB300C or perhaps the FPB600c if I can find a deal,Classe 401, Plinius SA250. My musical tastes lean towards classic rock and jazz.What do you think?

I would suggest the McIntosh Mono Blocks MC1000 alot of dealers are blowing out these MC1000 to make room for the MC1201, you should be able to get a set NEw in THE BOX for under 10K I would also try as well The Krell 250 MonoBlocks Sweet sound of success!
Good Luck and when you fing the MAGIC* please post up what it is, so we can pass along the information to everyone

@subaruguru are you into the older subies or the new ones? What are you driving that you really like?

I would strongly suggest you give class d a try...for a fraction of the stated budget you could be all in on a class d with stupid power, and some of the best sound on the planet. VTV amplifiers offer a 45 day in home trial and you can get power levels from 125 wpc to over 1200 wpc with a tube input buffer if desired. Lots of choices and they really do sound good. If you don't like it send it back and buy whatever floats your boat. https://vtvamplifier.com/
