New or Used Amplifier

I put together my Krell 20i CD player, YBA 2 Pre & amp with Genesis V speakers in the mid 90s’ and am still very happy with it so I kept away from the equipment shops.

Now adding HT so I will need 2 more amp along with misc equipment. I know major advances have been made in amplifiers in the past 20 years, but if you had around $3,000 to invest in an amplifier would you buy new or used?

Thanks AKG_ca

I will check out the Belden cables, do you have a suggestion on model that worked for you. I am already looking for YBA Diamond speaker cable for center channel.

Also saw comments that MIT Shotgun 3 was a good cable with a YBA amp but with different speakers.

In case I do not like the YBA 3 channel amp, has anyone heard the YBA Passion 600 vs the YBA1 amps. YBA1 is classic YBA but I saw some good reviews on Passion 600. Can anyone provide a comparison?
Thanks

Go to TAKEFIVEAUDIO.COM , send them an email and get the Belden vs ?? Speaker cable choices straight goods right from the quality parts dealer that I used.

He will ask you more details about your gear, your room, other factors etc. and he can provide a much better choice(s) option(s).
