For a very honest product, within the UK, try Temple Audio from around Manchester.
I did a similar research one year ago and considering my limited budget I ordered a pair of their monoblocks. I'm very satisfied and don't feel the hitch to change. Just took me a while finding a nice matching preamp...
And they make everything in house, from the amplification modules (proprietary, not ICE or Ncore or whatever) to the casing. They even let you personalise the cases - choosing the metal finishing and engravings.
And one more thing, a very important one: the customer care is outstanding! Talk to John and he will answer all your questions.
