best used amp for 300- 400

I have a system composed of a rotel rcd970 cd player, rc990 preamp, rt940 tuner, acoustic reasearch turntable with denon mc cartridge and old infinity Qe speakers and am looking to replace my amp an old dying adcom gfa-2. I have heard a rotel rb 980 in the system and it was decent but not great i am trying to find an old bryston 3b but any suggestions would be welcome, my price range is less than $400 including shipping so closer to $350 would be ideal. I listen mostly to classic rock and ska, so i want power and good bass but also want good upper frequency perfomance as well. Thanks

I bought a used ST-202 and had it Modified from Sound Unlimited in Bristol,CT..I had Magnepans which are a difficult load to drive and there were no issues.
Matched with a Rotel Pre-Amp it sounds exceptional.I would like to try having a Tube Pre-Amp next.

I am using it to drive Mod. NEAR M15's at the moment and the M15's which drop to around 5 ohms I believe!

You can find Modified Models on A-Gon for around $400.

Good
