yes, the Audiolab 8KS would be a good candidate.
Also try Audio Analogue Primo series ... in the same class as well. Different sound. Try as much as u can before parting with your hard earned money.

Or if u dun mind s/hand stuff, u can get something in a better class than both the Audiolab and AA Primo.

With the A-S2000 and now the A-S1000, Yamaha has taken the bold step of using a floating balanced configuration to update the power amplifier for serious music fans. This method, which is completely different from the pure complementary circuit that has been the main type used for the past four decades, features identical polarity on the plus and minus side of the output stage. By completely isolating the plus and minus sides of the left and right channels of both the NFB and power supplies, it achieves perfectly symmetrical operation in the output stage. The use of four sets of floating power supply units (not connected to earth), provides further operating precision. The result is very low levels of noise and distortion for exceptionally pure and transparent sound quality.
