tripg,
With the info you gave us of your present status and also you may be in the position to upgrade speakers later.
You probably could find a class d amp used that would not exceed your budget or another possibility is the new Schitt audio Vidar that sales for 700.00 and I have heard a little bit of feedback on it that it sounds pretty darn good,I haven't had a chance to listen to it.
