Best used amp in the $1500 range

If you had a budget of about $1500 to spend on a used amp, which you you look at? Primarily to be used for the front two channels in a multipurpose system, but music performance in paramount.

Also, not interested in tubes and would like something with decent power.

Thanks.

There are a lot of really good candidates in this price range. I've always been curious about McCormack and have heard great things about Odyssey. I guess Homer really knew his amps!

Krell KSA 250.
I have one up for sale at $2500 or best offer.Recenetly repaired and brought up to original specs by Krell.
250 Watts of class A power into 8 ohms, 500 watts into 4 ohms.
Sterophle rated class A.
You will have to go higher than $1500 but the extra money will be worth it.

I should have provided a better description of what I'm looking for. My current set-up is Naim CD5i Source, Arcam AVP-700 pre-processor, Outlaw model-755 five channel amp, Energy Veritas 2.3i speakers.

I looking to upgrade the main two channels of this system form music. HT is fine, but I think I might do better with a better amp for the main channels?

Hi Jack, were you looking to make a tonal shift by going to a different amp or is there something else you were hoping to ameliorate?
