Power + a bit of warmth for $2K or less?


I need a high current amp for hungry speakers - close to 200 w into 8 ohms with near-doubling into 4 ohms. But would also like refinement, and a teeny bit of warmth. Used is what I am looking at.
Some candidates at the moment are: Bryston 4BST/SST, Aragon 8008MkII, and perhaps Spectron Musician II. This last one is a dark horse; not sure what to make of it. Does it do well into 4 ohms? Sure, the numbers are high, but it goes from 500 into 8 to 600 into 4, only a 20% increase...?
Any suggestions for other amps that fit the bill? Attractive looks certainly not a drawback either.

I've heard the newer Brystons are smoother than their older siblings, but I don't know if you could consider them warm.

Besides the Aragon look into the Classe CA200/300, Plinius SA100/250, BAT VK200/500, and McCormack DNA1 and 2.

Good luck!
I have owned Bryston 4B SST and currently use Bryston 14B SST. Powerful, clean, and detailed. Warm? "Warm" to me implies a sacrifice in detail. Bryston does not fit this definition. A tube preamp is a good addition to a Bryston amp, IMHO.
