Best used amp for around 500


I'm am desperately trying to upgrade from a Denon AVR-3300 receiver. Looking for a stereo amp for the fronts. I'm entertaining the idea of a five channel amp, but I don't yet have DVD-Audio or SACD, and money is an issue. The receiver is fine for movies, but for music...well, it won't do. I'm currently running Acoustic Energy Aegis 3's for the fronts - silk dome tweets, pretty warm, laid back sound. Any suggestions?

Muse (early) version Model One-Hundred sometimes go for $500.
Keep in mind that certain versions of this amp are much more than $500, such as the limited 2000 Edition. There are about a dozen versions of this model and it was made for over ten years.
Early versions go for about $500-$650. There was a review in the April 1991 Stereophile on page 174 of a very early version. FYI, what year was a particular model made? The first two numbers of the serial numbers will tell you this.
