Budget/value SS power amp recommendation


Hello all would appreciate any recommendations for a budget solid state power amp for a lightly used 3rd system to pair with some tube preamps. Budget is less than $500. New, used , cosmetics irrelevant. Initial thoughts are the following but don’t know if they obtainable on this budget.

older belles model
used AVA

Any thoughts or suggestions welcome. Would love to find a sleeper under the radar model or something discounted if it’s cosemticlaly challenged . Thanks

I like the Forte 1a amp. It's 50 amps per channel, all at class A. It's in your price range (used) & is a great amp. Note that I've never run it with 15 ohm speakers though.
