$1500 amp budget for Revels HT setup


I have a basement HT with F30s up front (6ohm) & a M20 for the center (also 6ohm). Rest of the speakers are two pairs of Infinity Primus 150s (8ohms).

A Marantz mid-fi AVR is powering them all now...i need a 3 channel or more dedicated amp to get the volume where i need it!

I cannot go above my budget and expecting to go used.

If you can find one, an Anthem MCA-3 or, preferably, MCA-30 would be a significant improvement in both power and sonics. With 6 ohm speakers, you'll probably get about 225 wpc with the MCA-30.
The MCA-30, used, less than $1000. New, it was $1800.
Signature Home Theater is still showing it on their website, new, but I doubt it, as Anthem is apparently no longer making 3-channel amps. Still, they might have stock and be willing to deal an out-of-production piece. Normal dealer cost is about 60%, or about $1100.
