Best solid state power amp for $1k


I am looking for new or used, at least 100w 8ohm per channel, no more than 200w per channel. I am using a tube pre-amp, based on the 12au7 and presently using new oskar heil speakers. My musical tastes run to jazz and classical. Let the opinions fly.

Nighthawk, I think you hit the nail on the head with the speakers. I was focused on the pre and didnt give the speakers enough attention. Good call.
If your running a tubed pre-amp youll absolutely love an Aragon 8008BB or 8008ST(grab the 8008BB if you can find one under $1000). Incredible control with very smooth and detailed mids and smooth grainless highs. Ive heard a combo involving a tube pre with an 8008 on a pair of B&W 802's and was very impressed.
Audio Research D-200 is a wonderful amp. You can get them from $700 to $800. I own one and love it. Very powerful with lots of finess.
