Amp for Special 40's

Hey folks!
Need help choosing an amp for Dynaudio Special 40's, budget is ~$1700 max.

1) Denon 1600NE Integrated amp

2) Schiit Freya Pre-amp + Vidar power amp

Or should I try to find something better in the used market? 
My room is pretty small so don't need a lot of volume.
Thanks.

I love the Special 40s, went and compared the Evoke 20s and 40s and ended up with the Evoke. I am very happy with my 22xx Marantz, it does the magic for Dynaudio with anything but classical music.

From what people are saying, I'd go with the Schitt stuff.

@rafaelg - Forgot to mention that I bought the amp used here on Audiogon for $2,100, so it’s not that far out of budget.

Another consideration. Watch Danny's You Tube video-GR Research. He just did a look see into that speaker. He has thoughts.

Yes, I've seen that video and to be honest I don't trust this guy. He's pretty much a salesman who tries to sell his product, and I don't think he knows more about making good sounding speakers than a company like Dynaudio.
