Power Amp Recommendations Please

[TRIPLE A]

Hi all - Please Help Me To Spend My Money.

I'm looking for a stereo power amp, budget about £2K, to help my music sing more nicely. Am open to buying used.
Will be running it with:
Yamaha RX-A3080 receiver as pre-amp via XLR out (I'm running movies and games through my system too)
Clearaudio Concept turntable with upgraded cartridge I don't remember which though
Cyrus Phono Stage Signature, with Cyrus PSX/R2 power supply
Panasonic UB-9000 for CDs and UHDs
Wilson Benesch Act One speakers

Phono stage and Panasonic and Yamaha all connected using XLR

Tempted to go Cyrus - there are some nice deals on the Power XR amp which they're discounting to clear out for the new wave, but, I'm unsure of the power output.
I dabbled with a used Chord previously but the capacitors were gone and it left a bad impression so I returned it.
Hmm.

Recos welcome, thanks all

Well I like NAD and Rotel so at that price I'd be looking at the NAD C298 and the Rotel RB1582 mk2, but I'd also look at Lyngdorf SDA 2400.

The NAD and Lyngdorf are both digital amps although of different types, the Rotel is class A-B but it'll be huge in person and weigh a ton I bet.

Many thanks, that's great input!
I've gone round the houses on this quite a bit today, good fun and interesting learning.
Almost went for a Rotel RB-1590 which I could get a great deal on, and the NAD was tempting too with its fancy new tech.
Decided to go with 2x Cyrus Power XRs in the end which came in a bit under £2.5k so a really nice deal, which I'll be running in a bi-amp config (they won't go monoblock formation like the older Cyrus generation of power amps).
This will be fine to run my speakers, and I can upgrade down the road with PSU-XR power supplies if fancied too.
I figured in the end - I'm not super bothered about having loadsawatts - this is enough - also the fact that the Power XRs will not only sound great quality, but will also visually and sonically match my existing phono stage and its power supply.

Congratulations, they will match your other gear well. I hope you enjoy them.
