Can anyone suggest a good 2-channel amp for $1500

Conquered home theater, but want to set up a decent semi-reference 2 channel system. I'm welcoming suggestions for a decent 2-channel amp putting out around 100WPC RMS that would go for ~$1500 US or less (preferrably less). I am considering tube amps, but want to know what those advantages are over a solid state amp.

Thanks...

I think the PS Audio HCA amps are pretty amazing and can be had for about half your budget.

I was thinking of pairing 2 Aurum Cantus Leisure 2SE's with this amp + a Shanling CD-T100a CD player in this mini-semi-ref system. I will also probably try my current Anthony Gallo Acoustics Adiva Ti's with this just for grins...

Thanx for responses so far to all...

Also, as far as room size is concerned, the room is roughly 10x8, but will be moving soon to a bigger room. As far as music is concerned, just about any. I do favor electronic and acoustic music. Synth and strings mainly...
