I just got a Stingray under your budget and am very happy with it. You don't mention the speakers you'll use it with, which will make a difference. I read that it's best suited for easy to drive speakers, and I agree based on the (only) 2 sets of speakers I tried mine on (my 98db benign 8-ohm-ers, and a friend's 92 db 4-ohm complex crossovers, etc.).
If you do look for a Stingray, go to the Manley webiste and get educated on the various changes from the late 1990s when it was introduced to just before the introduced the Stingray II (now at $5600 or so).
Made in California if that matters to you.
