Amp evolution ques. - what comes after a Harmon K?

Hi All
Just getting started in this. I bought a pair of I.Q. TED 400 floor speakers(used - from Germany) and power it with a 1994 Harman Kardon AVR 20 rated at 65 watts. System seems to play well, but i want to explore a little and have decided to try some different power before i go replace the speakers. i read the personal amp evolution thread to get some of the brand names. I will only buy used as i expect to trade around for a while; min 100 watts. Right now the local used shop has some Rotel, NAD, Adcom and a Haefler. A used 200c Cayin is also in the area. Or should i just wait and buy the next level up?

For problem free listening I would suggest recent used gear from say the last 5 years or Less.

There are so many amp choices like adcom, parasound etc
You migh also consider a starter tube amp like an ARC VT60
if that is not out of your budget

I have found greater improvment by upgrading the source such as your cd player or turntable.
