Integrated Amplifier Recommendations Needed

I have a pair of JBL L112 speakers in excellent condition, but I would like an integrated amplifier to drive them. The JBLs are fairly efficient, 89 dB @ 1 W/1 M, and the maximum recommended amplifier power is 300 watts. My room is 20X25 with 10-foot ceilings.  

100 wpc would be adequate; what do you all recommend?  I want to stay under $2000, and used equipment is fine.

I listen to 80% jazz, from small groups to big bands.  The rest mixes classical, classic rock, Steely Dan, etc.  

Best,

Used I'd recommend the Hegel H190, 150wpc 8ohms, 250wpc 4 ohm....would be more than enough....and has a very slight warmer tone.

Or the Heaven 11 Billie Amp MKII, 120wpc 8ohms, 215wpc 4ohms....class D and a tube preamp stage.....can be found used for about $1,500, but they rarely last a day or two when they show up. Check out some of the reviews by British Audiophile, Steve Guttenberg, Jay's Iyagi, Steve Huff, Nemo....etc, all really good. I set up a small system with it for a friend, he's extremely happy
