Low cost Amp?

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a used amp for around the $500 range. In the past (pre-divorce) I had a Parasound 2200II and a PS Audio HCA-2. I listen to a wide variety of music but mainly smooth jazz. Like everyone else I am looking for the best sound for the best price.

Thanks,
Rod

I have two Amber 70s and their great little amps for well below 200.00 each. I have had great results with the B&K 200 mono amps for around 500.00. There built well and should have no problem driving almost any speaker load.

The Jolida 102B, occasionally found on Audigon for ~ $400-$500, with the very engaging El 84 (6BQ5) tubes (as used in many of the old HH Scott amps) in push pull is a great little amp and a bargain to boot.
