recommendations for buying used balanced integrated or power amp 2k range?

any suggestions?

would be used to drive a variety of tower speakers with sensitivity above 89db

source would be rotated for the time being between between bluesound node and Lumin d2

the amps that come up regularly in my area for sale used are Yamaha s2100/2200 and Ayre AX7e

And if you can swing for just a bit more at $2500, you’ll start to find some excellent options, such as: Modwright KWA series (there is a KWA 150 SE selling on TMR for $2679, I’ve never seen it that low) Benchmark AHB2 Parasound A21+
