Best Integrated for Martin Logan Motion 12's?

I'm struggling to pinpoint an Integrated with enough power, as well as accurate and dynamic.. I'm finding these types of things are found in a slightly higher price bracket.. Trying to stay at 1000..
Lower frequency is important as is speed soundstage and depth.. People have suggested the pm8004 in the past... Is this my only option? Used is my best option I'm sure.. Had the creek 50a in mind... However the output wattage is a little short... Though its Dynamics precision and clarity were points of interest.. Saw a Shengya a-216 pushing more watts.. But I'm hesitant about it.. Chifi.. Also the outlaw audio Rr2150.. Again more reasonable power but at perhaps a loss of Sq...
Any suggestions are welcome..
Thanks.

I hesitate to suggest this because it is only 50 watts but the Arcam FMJ A19 might be one to look at. I have one and love it. I'm using it with a Klipsch speaker that, while efficient, has a 12" woofer and 12" passive radiator also. If that woofer is not being driven well the speaker does not sound good.

Well, the A19 has them sounding as good as I've heard them. The A19 is powerful, dynamic and smooth. Sedate in looks but unbelievable build quality for the price. And it has the best volume conttol I have ever used regardless of price.

Good luck with your search.

Paraneer is correct about the Marantz and the Music Hall. Some great integrateds out there for $1k new or pre-owned.
