Plinius vs Sim Moon vs Ayre

The Sim W5 is a great amp. You could find one for about $2600 used, although there aren't many to be had. The W3 is 125 watts and may suit your needs. Email if you want to know of a dealer who will give you a good deal.

Check out the Levinson 331 (dual mono 100 watts) or the new version 334 (dual mono 125 watts). Definitely worth a listen. The 331 can be found used between $2500-$3,000. The 334 is substantialy more and lucky to find used. Good luck...

Now that this thread has been resurrected, let me inform you amp addicts that I found a wonderful BAT VK-200 at a very good price. The sound is silky, solid, airy, not much like SS. I see there are more of them for sale on this site, and I can't understand why. If you want a dependable 100W that sounds more like 200 (I sold my Aragon 8008BB to get the BAT, and it plays just as loud), try the BAT.
