I'm currently using a Krell S-550i Integrated Amp. to power a pair of Wilson Audio Sasha 2 Spkrs. in a large room and it sounds very good, with excellent dynamics, micro-detail, imaging, and deep bass, plus plenty of good clean power.
I recently ran a $7,500- Pass Labs INT-150 against it and the Krell performed far better across-the-board, with what seemed like twice the power - it was no contest.
The Krell S-550i reminds me more of my previous Pass Labs X1 and X250.5 combo. than the INT-150 did, it's that good and could be had for well-under your budget.
