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’d give this Hegel H100 available here a strong look.  120Wpc into 8 Ohms and doubles into 4 Ohms and utilizes their Sound Engine technology employed in their top amps.  Here’s a nice review and the link to the ad here…

Best of luck. 

 

Given the sound qualities you’re looking for I’m gonna supplant my prior Hegel recommendation for this Yammy.  She’s right in your wheelhouse sonically, built like a tank, and looks awesome.  That you can get it at a $1400 discount at accessories4less.com for what’s basically a new unit and likely full warranty — bonus!  You gonna be hard pressed to beat this…
