Used Amp Under $1000

Howdy y’all. After perusing this and USAM forums I’ve identified a handful of amps that seem pretty good. I’ll be using this amp with a McCormick TLC-1 Pre and Magnepan MG1’s. Please tell me your thoughts on which I should buy, why and what I might have overlooked.
Thanks!

Also, they are hard to find, but I'd recommend a Muse One Hundred Sixty. Excellent for the buck.

Used one while my Sunfire was being rebuilt to power my 3.5s. Sounded great, but wished for more power, but I am in a large room, like to turn it up, and was pushing larger speakers than the MG1.
