Oldtexasdog, how large is your room and how loud do you like to listen to music? Also, what type of music do you most listen to? That should give us an idea of how much power you actually need.
Offhand, knowing nothing of your musical preferences and volume requirements, along with your $300-800 price limit, I suggest:
1) VTL ST-85 - here
2) Rogue Audio Atlas
3) Rogue Audio Magnum Eighty Eight
40 Or, if you can get by with less power(~35-40wpc) one of the many upgraded/modified classic Dynaco ST-70 amps in the ~$600 range
