Hi,
I have the Sherbourn 5/1500A, and I've felt no need to upgrade it in the nearly 3 years that I've owned it. It has good dynamics and clarity. And it can be acquired used for around your price limit.
I compared it to the Rotel RMB-1075 using my NAD receiver as a preamp/processor for both and the Sherbourn ran circles around it.
Good luck in your decision!
