Suggestions for an amp


It has been suggested that I should look at a different amp to get the best sound out of my speakers. 
I have a Yamaha Aventage RX-A830. Front speakers are Monitor Audio Silver 8. 
I am mostly interested in something to provide the best sound while listening to music but also be decent for HT. I have an Orbit with a Grado Black 1 cartridge for vinyl. 
I am not looking at spending a ton of money and will definitely consider used (I am looking at several on this site). 
Many thanks!

I run a Denon AVR-X4000 (a few years old) through a Parasound P5 pre-amp w/HT bypass and B&K EX-442 Sonata amp that puts 350 wpc through my 4 ohm Maggie MMGs.  The P5 also has an MM/MC phono stage.
Works quite nicely for both my HT and 2.1 channel listening. 
You could pick up a 442 and P5 for under a grand like I did - both in mint condition.
Problem solved.
