New/Used Amp recommendations for about $3k-$4k?

I'm looking some new Paradigm Founder Series 100f speakers and would like to get rid of my Emotiva UPA-1 mono blocks for something else. 

I really like the form factor of these amps and have been very happy having them and they will make the next buyer happy also but I want some thing very detailed and clean. 

I just got rid of Emotiva XPR-1 mono blocks after hearing the 100f's on them and could absolutely hear the detail and cleanliness those amps had with these speakers. 

What do you think?

Alright people,  

I ended up getting the Parasound Halo A21+ in black.

Nice amp.  Congrats.  You still need to try a good 2-channel preamp — it’ll be a big improvement over your Marantz that may sound “nice,” but a lot of things sound ok until you hear something better and then it’s not so “nice” anymore.  I just think your speakers and new amp outclass your processor, but do as you will.
