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?

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.

Sensitivity is 89dB. Impedance is 3.2-9.8 ohms. Dynaudio recomends amp >80 watts in a large room.
