You shouldn't discard class D.
Like NAD M33, and the Lyngdorf above. I heard the Purifi Eigentakt modules also used in the NAD. They're top! Class AB: Hegel (H390 and even H590 fit your budget, and they have a good DAC), Luxman, Accuphase, Naim, AVM,...

Not personally, but heard only good things about them. All from trusted sources that had experience with the brand.

I've had excellent results with several amplifiers to drive a pair of Harbeth 30.1 35th Anniversary:
with the fast/articulate Swiss Goldmund Telos 280 (Class AB) * with the richly textured American Pass Labs XA30.8 (Class A) * with the charming vintage French Jadis DA 8 (PP 6550) * with the precise yet delicate German T+A V10 (PP EL509/EC99/ECL82) with the holographic and detailed Chinese Line Magnetic LM-845P (SET 845/300B/310A) With the latest being my current favourite combo, but that can change regularly * in the case of Power Amps they are mated with a Nagra Jazz Preamp (Class A 12AX7/12AT7) or an Ayon Stealth DAC/Preamp (6H30/6Z4). Since you don't listen to hard rock/heavy metal, a nice tube amp can be a good option too! Have you actually decided on an amp yet? Best, Joel
