great SS amps for the klipsch rf7

I am so far set on the solid state amps just for simplicity and price, but might go tube if they will still play clear. I have used many guitar tube amps and damn they are sweet. I want to feed my 7s with at least 200rms per channel. I like loud at times. Right now using a Denon 2803 at 90rms per channel and it gives up quick and the 7s pick it out and sounds bad. I am looking for a sub 1k amp to get the job done if possible. I am picky on sound quality at all levels. I listen to everything. 7s now can be too harsh and mid bass is not firm. Need more HP. Would prefer a popular line for a good price on used. Looking at Aragon, Rotel, Monster, Etc. Thanks

You may not need "lotsa-watts" to reach your goal. You will need some current though. Watts are a product of Voltage X Amperage. Try a Parasound HCA-750 or HCA-1000 if you want ear-bleading (but accurate) sound at a reasonable price. The stated "watts" of receivers is often a number reached with less than a full range signal, a difficult impedance, or some other cryptic but legal-and-stated-in-fine-print scientific measurement. I install the Parasound amps in bars that like to "bump" with far less efficent speakers than yours.

Good luck!
