Bryston VS Musical Fidelity

OK. Let's throw another amp into the mix.
How about a Rotel RB-1090? That's a
380WPC dual Mono amp. Two transformers
four power supplys, plus it's only 2K.
Thoughts....

Rotel isn't in the same league as Bryston or MF.

TVAD,I owned a Belles,which has tubes in the Pre amp, and Iowned a VAC Avatar,and have owned several CJ pieces over the years; I even questioned Fleming Rasmussen of Gryphon about using a Tube in the pass through for the tube sound.
I have probably spent more on tube gear in my life than most people spend all together on all equipment. Plus the Integrated I own now, has a $250 pair of Telefunken tubes. What walk, and what talk am I missing? Plus it is possible that everyone 'needs'something different than they want.
Advise is only valuable if it broadens the perspective of the enqirer.

Lrsky, I was specifically referrring to tube amps since the originator of this thread is asking about amps, not preamps. So, with that in mind, neither the Belles nor the DK qualify since they're not tube amps. I was not aware of the Avatar or the CJ pieces. Nevertheless, the originator of this thread is enquiring about a solid state amp in the $2000 price range...specifically the Bryston 4B SST or MF A5, and now a Rotel. What amp might you recommend in this price range as an alternative?
