help with 2 channel system build


Hi,
I'm new to the forum and it's been quite some time since I was amp shopping.I have a custom built pair of 2 way floorstanding speakers that are rated at 100 watts(power handling RMS),150 watts(power handling music)and 200 watts(power handling)peak.I would like to get some opinons/recommendations on a good mid-fi ss or tube amp(under $1000.00) to power these in a fairly large 24x20 room and I listen at high volume levels quite often.I listen mainly to classic rock and jazz.I have a crown straight line 2 pre-amp and JVC OLY-5F turntable.
I plan on adding a powered 10 or 12 inch sub at some point.

Thank you for the suggestions and info Noble 100.Someone had also mentioned that a Vincent sp-331 or emotiotiva xpa-2 might be good choices.Would I be better served to buy new or just as well off with a used amp?
Thank you again for all your help Noble 100.I'm wondering how the Vincent would stack up against the Emotiva?(If I recall the Emotiva is 300 watts into 8 ohms?)I know watts are not everything and clean power is the ultimate goal(I think)and I have also heard the Emotiva does better in HT situations/environment.I suppose I could ask either or both companies for some kind of trial period buy/audition.Also heard good things about wyred for sound but they seem a bit out of my league at 1495.00 for the 250 watt model.
