Just for clarification, My budget is around the 8000 mark. I would be interested in demo/well cared for 2nd hand for amps that initially cost more than this so higher retail price suggestions would be welcome. From my understanding, well engineered Class A amplification may offer the least distorsion and possibly the best sound especially as I do not need oodles of power.
I would be interested in DIY suggestions but if it requires alot of construction, it will probably be beyond me.
