Magnepan LRS- what amp should i consider? (sub $2,000)


Howdy!   Help !
I'm not very current on high end equipment these days- I bought my Vandersteen 2CE's about 20 years ago, and haven't been tracking the market since.   

But, since I'm going to "test drive" a pair Magnepan's LRS soon - I need to lasso a more powerful and detailed amp (my Adcom 50 wpc thang is not gonna cut it).  I could go new or used. I listen to a lot of Jazz and G  Dead, and often play things loud.  The room is 11 x 21, and has some useful sound absorbing panels behind the listening "station".

I'd really appreciate any thoughts on a suitable power amp or integrated amp - at a somewhat reasonable price. And- given the rest of my qwipment (noted below) should I invest in some cables & interconnects too?

My (fairly humble, but exciting) system:
Harmon Kardon T60 TT w/a Audio Technica VM 540 ML stylus-  running thru a Nakamichi 610 preamp.  I'm streaming my >8,000 song iTunes library from an Apple TV box into a Cambridge Audio DAC 100. Also have a HSU sub hooked in too. I don't own any fancy cables or interconnects.

Thanks!

I agree with Jason the Crown 1502 works well with the LRS.
Sure you can decide to spend more money and be justified in that decision.
However the Crown amps IMHO are good at the very least worth a try before you spend more money than you need to.
I had a Parasound Hint Halo with Maggie  1.7 and the sound of was magic. A used Hint 5 should be available for under $1600
Happy listening

Try to find a good solid state power amplifier made before 2000 that is 100 to 200 watts per channel and draws 500 to 1000 watts from the wall as for wires i would go with a set of basic kimber interconnects and speaker wires they will not break the bank.
@johnto-  Thanks for the tip/recommendation on the Parasound Hint Halo. That sounds like a solid option (at the upper end of what I can afford). I like the way that Parasound has integrated  subwoofer connections and level adjustments- seems very sensible and useful in my current setup.
