I've been thru a bunch of amps the last year but a few weeks ago returned to my Marantz MA-22s.

They drive the top-8 octaves of my Vandersteen 5As, and with the 70Hz high-pass filter I installed--a Cardas Golden Ratio cap--they have plenty of power for this audiofool who does NOT treasure high dynamic range nor who listens at high levels. I've upgraded a few parts, added more BlackGates (main-PS, decoupling, and coupling caps were already BGs) as main-PS-bypasses, etc. They sounded so good on the 5As, I started fantasizing about their big/little brothers, the even-higher-end MA-24s.

Well--lo and belold--TWO pairs were listed on A-goN, and I bought them. They're in Michigan and I'm in Arizona so it'll be about a week before I see them, but here are some pics.
It appears that with so much room in the chassis, they'll be even easier to work on than the '22s. We'll see.
