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 THINK I WOULD STAY WITH KRELL SINCE YOU HAVE A KRELL PIECE ALREADY. YOUR 3.3'S LIKE A LOT OF GOOD CLEAN POWER AND BASS CONTROL WHICH KRELL CERTAINLY DELIVERS. I'VE USED KRELL'S FBP-250M'S IN THE PAST AND THEY ARE VERY FINE AMPS.

If I had ten K to spend on a solid state amp I would get a used Classe Omega. All you aloia fans, do they have enough power for Sg69's Dynaudio 3.3's?

Shouldn't be a problem using the Aloia (inductive). This is mere speculation though. How inefficient are the Dynaudio's. They can easily control all the Dunlavy speakers. You can bi-amp for less than 8k.
