Help me decide my next amp

Hello Gents,
Currently I own pair of Sonus Faber sonetto 2 speakers driven by pathos classic one mk3. Everything is fine but sometimes I feel like I need more power (lack of authority and grunt). Currently I'm looking at several amps.

  • NAD 275 BEE  + NAD 165BEE
  • Marantz PM 17-MK II + SM17
  • Primare i30
  • NCore hypex NC400 x 2 Monoblocks
  • Quad 606 + Quad 66 pre amp
 All of the amps/preamps are pre owned and every combination is within the range of 1000-1200e.
 What would be your choice?

Thanks

Get somthing better PASS!
For 1000-1200 euros, EBM? How does the OP do that? Because I would do that and I don't even need an amp.

@jjss49 I actually love the idea of trying to build an amp. The craziness now needs to abate a bit, but what fun! I'd be up for it. And since I'm Colorado, I'll bring some baked goods and we can really make a groovy kit.

@jjss49  I'm afraid my probation release program forbids me from using a soldering iron. Deadly weapon in the hands of a miscreant like me.
