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?

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

The Jeff Rowland Model 10 is the best amp for under $10,000. Period. Here's all I have to say about the amp: it is 50% more efficient than an amp with a normal power supply, it's smaller, it runs cooler, has better detail, more realistic bass, no grain, and looks gorgeous. You thinking of a Krell or ML or anything else? Take the top cover off of the JR and then look inside anything else. You'll never look back.

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!
