Tired wiating - good Bryston/what else to get?

I am really tired to wait for a good occasion for a nice Bryston amp..
I was looking for a used 4B or an almost new 2B LP amp..
But everytime i look for some, none show or the deals go off :(

SO i need to know what else could i get that gives a lot of bang for the bucks!!

What i am looking for: crisp, details clear...
an amplifier that doesn't alter the sound but simply amplifies it ( as amplifier suggests :p )

Wich model/brand should i be looking for ?
I really have a dig for Canadian products ( home sweet home ) but i am open to any sugestion!
Please take into account that my budget is reallly low now unfortunatly :(

here is my current setup :

Digital sources ->
Waveterminal 192 ( 24bit 192KHZ dac that rux )->
????missing link amplifier ????? ->
Mirage OM-9 speakers + ( soon )Mirage BPS 150i sub

thanks :)

i don't really like NAD..
everytime i've listened to NAD amps they always seemed to me
( this is relative right? ;p ) that they jump up on highs and crisp too much the bass.. like reverse of what you would want it to do :p

1000$ USD is alot over my budget..i can extend some.but not to that point :p
hihi

thanks neway for the input :)

(BTW the guy form who i bought the OM-9 had a NAD amp with the speakers..and i auditionned the speakers with the NAD plugged into them, ok it was a low NAD model of a few year old, but it was really overbright on the OM-9 :p )

Thanks all for the NICE NICE inputs :)

i will look at ALLLL the options :)

Classe would be nice i think .. from Montreal :)
but i'm not sure about the Classe with the Mirage..never heard that combination :p

Sim audio is really cool but isn't it always out of price?

ahah canada rulez :p

i'm gonna check all the rest of the sugestions, to see what could fit me best :)

I sure would love to have a dual mono block setup to run the speakers with only 1 foot of wires :)
but the only amps that would do this without too much $$ are the Bryston 2B 2 times briged to mono ( 200W + )
anything else that would be good for monos ?
:)

thanks again for your time!

By the way, i do not want to use a preamp as my sound card already serves taht purpose, and then, my point is to remove as many components as possible!

and run shortest wires possible too :p
hih
:)

Jin that is planning custom DIY pure silver teflon coated multiple strands speaker wires, and DIY interconnects using high quality RCA crimp style with high quality coaxial RG6 pure copper cables :)

What does a computer setup changes for you to select this particular amplifier?
