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!

Does the Yamaha sound bad? If you kept it, maybe pick up a used Parasound HCA1200ii - I just saw one on that list site by me for like $500. Then use your Yamaha to run all the surround speakers and the Parasound to run the Monitors. Then you can take the money you save and get an REL subwoofer. The new 12" home theater subs are pretty reasonable...
Just another option, not saying it is the best one.
