HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range

I am trying find a decent 2 channel power amp to replace my Sonos Amp connected to Kef R3's and RSL Speedwoofer MKII.

I was considering the Emotiva TA2 but based on the comments/reviews here I beleive I could do better going 2X on price over the Emo and be open to a used unit.  I prefer  warm to neutral with detail sound profile.I'd also like an amp that is north of 100 WPC becuase my listening space is midsized (open floor plan approx 600 SF).

Thanks to all in advance!

The Sunfire 300 is a great idea, great amp, for 1K you can buy one and send to Flannery for upgrades and a check over, that is a great idea!

 

they are great amps!

Look into a pro amp, Yamaha, QSC, crown etc, lots power, good sound, reliable.

 

 Call odyssey, see what Klaus can build you for your budget

 

parasound, good call, great amp. 
 

keep eyes open on the Gon for a great used amp

also usmart, good stuff there also, be cautious on fleabay, lots Scheisters there. 
 

keep checking the used section here, always good stuff popping up.

or a better suggestion, save another 6mo-1yr, and get a much better amp for 1500-2000$

 

that’s what I did, I saved scraps for 4 years, ended up with an amazing mono pair. 
 

good luck
