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,

I absolutely love my Denon PMA 1600. You might get lucky and find the Denon PMA A-110 Anniversary edition for less than $2k preowned…maybe. In either case, you cannot go wrong here.

Hegel I thought was warmer, and belles is very crisp and clear. But it depends what you like. They are both good recommendations

Gents ... good morning. I believe this may be my 1st post here but I am in a similar situation ($2K budget) and wanted to throw in a Technics SU-G700 'consideration' into the mix ?

Cheers

Steve

Vincent SV-237MK. With it's three tube preamp stage, It handles your preference in music quite well, with the first 10 watts in pure class A and plenty of power for even the most demanding speakers. It should sound great with your JBL's Nice looking one in your price range here;
