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!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the new Class D amps like VTV or Buckeye.  I have no experience with them, but the comments from owners are that the new Class D are exceptional-- high power, very low price.  Purifi 1ET400A modules.

@balooo2 "I have not come across a Class D set up I could fall in love with yet".  That is exactly why I suggest seeking out some of the new Class D designs that use the Purifi modules.  They are apparently in their own class-- and have none of the old Class D flavor.  Some say that they are a step above anything else, including Class A, Class A/B, etc.  I'm just saying don't dismiss them.  Maybe someone will chime in on this that has experience with new Class D designs.
