I agree that you cannot lose with a used nu/tri vista.
With that said - here are the some others I like in this range or less for your speakers and listening interest:
Naim Nait XS - really, really musical. Don't worry about the stated power - plenty of current
Musical Fidelity A5.5 - good, lots of head room
Ayre Acoustics A7se - really good
Exposure 2010s - great bargain - good sound
Vincent Audio SV-236 MkII - hybrid - really, really good
Anything new or used from Sim Audio
Anything used from Blue Circle.
Haven't heard the new Rega - sounds like it is rolled off a bit on top with great bass (not too much, just very good). Don't worry about the rated power with this either - plenty of current to get the job done.
