Reco for a low power amp to try


I am just curious about the low powered (those 5W to 12W per channel) amps and how they sound.....
Don't know any retailer in my area that would lend me one for a weekend but if I was to just buy something here and in worst case re-sell here....what would you recommend for starters ?
Hopefully something under $2,000 used....so at first I get a sense of what 5Watts sound like....

My main concern is that I do listen to lot of prog rock (ex;  Pink Floyd) and I do like to up the volume sometimes...

PS: If you happen to live in the NJ area and would be so kind to allow me to try one out - I would be so thankful

thanks guys !
Rob - fair point about the speakers.....I know that for low powered amps, horns or electrostatics - anything very sensitive is a must.... however, for now I am really happy with my ProAc Response D30R..... so this will have to stay for now....

mrdecibel - funny...I actually don't change my equipment very often.... quite the opposite.....in the last 20 yrs I had 4 or 5 amps, 5 preamps , maybe 5 different speakers and only 4 different CDP..... It may just seem this way since in the last year I decided to "rebuild" / experiment .....so there has been  a lot of "movement" ...but even that is probably low by most A'goners standards.... 2 new preamps, 1 new speakers and 1 new CDP in the 2018 .... I would barely call it "often"
