HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range

I am trying find a decent 2 channel power amp to replace my Sonos Amp connected to Kef R3's and RSL Speedwoofer MKII.

I was considering the Emotiva TA2 but based on the comments/reviews here I beleive I could do better going 2X on price over the Emo and be open to a used unit.  I prefer  warm to neutral with detail sound profile.I'd also like an amp that is north of 100 WPC becuase my listening space is midsized (open floor plan approx 600 SF).

Thanks to all in advance!

If in NY I have a Outlaw 2200 and an Audiosource amp 300 that I am not using and willing to let go for a decent offer.

@balooo2 I know you are a noob, but FYI I believe you are looking for an integrated amp, not a power amp.  You are getting recommendations for both but just wanted to clarify.  A power amp alone won't really help you.  

I'm with others on the Parasound or Hegel recommendations.  Hegel H190 for that kind of money is a bargain.  Good luck as you head down the rabbit hole!

@mtbiker29 Actually I am looking for a quality 2 channel 100 WPC+ power amp as stated.

I'm a noob when it comes to lesser known mid-high quality power amps.

Btw,again you guys are awesome I'm getting the education I was looking for... Options and brands I've never heard of. I see the listings for non big brand names but have no insight into what is a good deal or someone trying unload their headache / disappointment on someone else. I'm truly greatful.
