Recommendation for used Amp to power Magnepan 1.6

I am searching for a used Solid state amp to drive my Magnepan 1.6 speakers. The amp will be paired with 20 year old Sonic Frontiers tube pre-amp. Have been using 40 w tube amps. Want to keep the price below $1000.00. I am considering a Belles 150a Hot Rod amp. Not sure if it has the power to drive my 86 dB maggies.

I would appreciate any feed back.

How about a Perreaux PMF1150B? There is one available now on Ebay. $350 + $60 shipping from Illinois. Seller is "zimbida01". Perreaux (New Zealand) made excellent SS gear. This one is 100wpc and should easily drive your Magneplanars!

Need more power? There is a Perreaux 3150 available on EBay at auction. Starting bid is $700 + $124 shipping from California. So far no bidders! Auction ends tomorrow July 15 at 10 PM. Seller is "music52". For a monster power amp this is a real good deal! Sonically equal to any of today's four-figure amps!
