what amp under a grand?

I have vienna acoustic mozart grand marantz sr5005 avr,marantz 8001 sacd,vieanna theatro center,b&w 600s3 for rears,current amp adcom 555mk2.looked at used parasound hca 2003 thx, rotel rb 993, and and an adcom 5802.im fine with the performance the marantz gives me for ht but for two channel sound is muddy. i think its the amp? any advice on a used amp that would bring out the detail of the mozarts?

Jughead,

Good choice in the 2125/2100 combo. I had that combination for a while and it's performance far exceeded it's price point. Far more powerful sounding than it's 125w/ch spec. Not overly warm but more neutral sounding IMO.

Good luck with your choices.

"yet another curve ball! 2125 is sold, but i have a chance at a hca 1500a.im sure this would be a good match as well. deff a lot more power!"

I saw that one. Good price and looks to be in great shape.

Go get it.
