Warmest solid-state integrated for under $2k

Hi,

I'm looking for the warmest sounding solid state integrated amp on the market for under $2k new. Any ideas?

Thanks!

The cost of the mod is $550. The MF A300 can be had used for $8-900 here on AGON. Very neutral warmish sound with a major reduction in harshness or glare, and lower noise floor after the mod. Very extended on both ends, great soundstage depth and size. Made a good amp an excellent amp.

Only on poorly mastered CD's that are too bright do I get glare or listener fatigue now. Very smooth and detailed.
