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!

@balooo2 I know you are a noob, but FYI I believe you are looking for an integrated amp, not a power amp.  You are getting recommendations for both but just wanted to clarify.  A power amp alone won't really help you.  

I'm with others on the Parasound or Hegel recommendations.  Hegel H190 for that kind of money is a bargain.  Good luck as you head down the rabbit hole!  

@balooo2 OK so what are you going to put in the signal chain along with said power amp?  Others have asked above and seem confused also. 

Further,  the example you cited in your original post is in fact an integrated so you'd see why we might be asking.  

Just trying to help.
