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,

The Belles Aria is a high current (16 amps) 75 watt 8 ohms 135 watt 4 ohms would drive those speakers with ease. I have used it driving 86 db speakers with no problem. You should find a used one for under $1500. There are many positive on line reviews.

Here is one of many!

Hegel 160 is 150 watts per channel, more than enough for your JBL’s. Keep in mind that the more power, the better the control over your speakers, i.e. better bass control. Used, you can find the Hegel 160 for $1500-2000. IMO a great choice.
