If you get a chance, try Yamaha 501/701/801 amplifiers. I have listened to 701 a lot and often and, surprise, with Monitor Audio Silver speakers (200? floorstanding, around $1500-2000?).
In my opinion, much more detailed and overall better than Marantz amplifer from a few years prior to that. Not that it means anything.
