Need recommendation for amplifier


One of my NuForce monoblock amplifiers seems to be irreparable.  I need to get a new amplifier.
 I’m looking in the one to two thousand dollar range, new or used.
Any recommendations for a decent amplifier in that price category?

My version is the 150A Ref V2 , Made in 2010 .
Guy I brought it from also had a "Hot Rod" for sale , said the difference is there but no big deal between the two.
I know him to be an honest audiophile and true music lover.
Sale was only because he was financing  going the 300b set route just for fun .
Great, rvpiano .
Best to let shipped gear warm up to room temperature in cold weather before using or so I was told and always have done .

Have a safe trip !
From the guys I’ve known people who play rock like class D more than people who play classical .

Aria? I saw a 350 and a 150A .
FWIW, I am running a 150A Reference MkII , new was $2600 bucks .
It’s7 years old and I got it for 1300$ as a 2 hr drive deal .
Good as new and sounds great and will for another 10 years at least .
I have a 30 year old plain 150 in my bedroom system that was recapped
and hard wired with a $500 buck AudioArt power cord done by AudioArt himself, one of the most honest guys in Audio , as a project that will be good for 15-20 years. Paid 400 bucks ,sounds great . If you lived around Twin Cities I’d let you use for a few months , you might be surprised .

I’m not rich or poor either .Just a retired old soldier and history teacher . I have a very good sounding system built on
the pay no more then half as much as new system . One exception was Eastern Electric Avant 8 tube pre, a true giant,killer and a few TT’s .
. Reason , only 50 were allocated for USA , $2000 .
The Music Room. One of(the biggest?) dealers selling used gear on Audiogon .I suspect they are related to Underwood Wally another respected new
dealer on here, IMO a good thing .

FWIW , The Odyssey wasn’t even close .
Of course we all hear with our own ears , I'm not saying it was bad .
I used Odyssey for several years , went to Van Alstine ,was better.
Went to Belles was FAR better .
Mosfets put a "mist" on classical music which you don’t notice till you hear an amp that doesn’t . Where do you live?
There is a Belles 350 on here that is a killer amp. TRM has a Belles 150A Hotrod for about $ 1050 which I would pay about $ 850  for .
