Which amp in this system?

Ok Guys,

I'm looking for an amp that will work in this setup. Used, probably. Not overly expensive please. 850-1000 U.S. dollars.

Current system:

Rotel RCD971 cdp (transport)
MSB Half Nelson Link III
Audio Research LS3Br preamp
NHT 2.5i mains

I'm not looking to switch anything else yet, so please don't suggest it (b/c i KNOW everyone has their own opinions). I just want to get the system up and running using what I have for the time being. Thanks.

I agree with the ARC suggestion. Due to the NHTs inefficiency (but nice sound) you should get at least 100 watts or 50 watts tubed.

If you don't like Rotel sound, stay away from Aragon and Classe (all are a bit laid back). If your budget is not up to an ARC, go to www.jeffssoundvalues.com and check out some reasonably priced used gear.
