2 channel Amp recommendation

I am looking to upgrade to a good used 2 channel amp in the 500-600 dollar range. I want a musical amp for my energy C-4 speakers. Any suggestions
Thanks in advance

"Corkboy" has a Threshold S-200 (100 w/channel) on this site's auction for the next two weeks. It might not go over $600. I think this would be an excellent choice. Don't know where you live but his zipcode is somewhere on the left coast.

Ton: Are you looking for an integrated or a power amp?

Have a look at the Odyssey Stratos. TAS liked the amp and quite a few members here own and love the amp. Odyssey is currently running a special for $600 plus shipping per amp. If you order 2 they will convert them to monoblocks for free. Wow! 300 watt monos for $1200! I think I will buy myself a pair too! Good luck with your decision.

There's a pair of Meitner 100-watt Class A monoblocks for sale right now for $599 - that's killer. I would personally go for a 45-watt or so used tube amp, maybe the little VTL or a JoLida (the JoLida hybrids are very musical also, if you want a bit more bang for your buck). There are a couple of little Music Reference amps for sale - less power but very good sound. If you lean towards a Golden Tube amp, ask the seller if it's noisy - some of them are.
