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 :)

Try the NAD S200 - rated at 225watts per channel. I owned
two of them and they sounded wonderful!!...I love it.

Go to www.audioreview and search for "NAD S200" to read consumer review!!...Everyone loves it!!!. There's
a guy that is selling it for less than 1K here in Audiogon.

Look under the wanted section, there's an offer there.

cheers..:-)

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 )

I don't you can beat Rotel amps at the below $1000 price-point. They're smooth and full of low-end.

McCormacks are a relatively "crisp" sounding amp, and I mean that in a good way. Usually priced nicely on the used market. Also look into Marsh, good stuff at good used prices.
