Amplifier recommendation

@sls883 Did you trade the amp in with CODA (Doug) or with a dealer. I am eying the new CODA SYSTEM 150 amp and have a CODA #16 for potential trade.

BTW - OP, last week, I setup my home office in my big space where I have my CODA #16 amp with my Yamaha NS5000 speakers. I am starting a new job soon and need a 2nd office. I have been listening to the CODA everyday now after just periodic and short listening sessions in the past. I forgot how amazing the CODA amp was, I have goose bumps listening to some tunes on this system. I highly recommend the CODA amps.

I also owned PowerPac 300 (same as the 4B-SST) and the 7B-SST. The CODA gear is at a different level.

@yyzsantabarbara I traded it in to Coda.  Doug knew the condition of the amp.  I don't know if they typically do that sort or thing, or not.  Mine was in mint condition, so maybe he wanted it for other reasons.  There are no dealers anywhere near me. 

Unless you're married to the Bryston and Coda option, for about the same money on the used market, the Parasound A21 is a good choice

I appreciate all of the responses. I may be vague on what I am looking for.  It seems everyone like that smooth silky midrange sound as the main priority. Don't get me wrong when it comes to vocals and instrumental but I also like to keep it real and dynamic. I listen mainly streaming and most mostly rock and country. I do listen occasionally like Norah Jones and anything easy listening.  

My budget is around 1.2k but I can push it to 1.8k only if I need to.

The CODA is not a smooth silky mid-range. For that the KRELL Duo XD lineup is amazing. However, the CODA gear is slightly warm and to the neutral side of things.

The Parasound A21+ was my gateway drug to the CODA gear. The A21+ was rather good but a but a bit too warm and not as detailed as the CODA (or KRELL Duo XD). The A21+ would be a great value option for a non-warm speaker, like my Magnepan LRS+.
