Budget Audiophile Looking For Amplifier Suggestions

As some have mentioned, a moderately priced tube amp may also nicely do the job. Right now I'm driving my Maggie 1.7s with a very moderately priced, USA made Rouge @ 100W per side and it does a very nice job in terms of timber, stage and dynamics. 

Good luck,
Jim

My bid would be, as some have mentioned, a Adcom, either GFA555 or GFA5500, ($350.00 - $500.00 used) or, for a bit more money, a Bryston 3Bsst ($1,200 - $1,500 used). Both the Adcom and the Bryston amps require a substantial warm up to sound their best, but when warmed up properly, compete with many much more expensive amplifiers. Also, both the Adcoms and the Brystons are high currant and able to nicely handle demanding loads.
I've had a few more expensive amps but dollar for dollar, still love the Adcoms and Brystons.,
