used power amp under 1500

I have an NAD C298 that I’d be willing to part with if you’re interested. 
Purifi Eigentact 180 watts 

excellent condition.  Original box, packing and manual.
 

PM me if interested

Thanks,

@soix, @zlone  yes, good point, 85 Watts is not a lot.  I will look for more power.

@patrickalston I will look into Bryston, for sure. 

@maam522a thank you, sounds like a great lead. I will do more research. I assume an older Bryston would be in the same category?

Galion Audio A75…..in your price range and very musical. 1500 new price.  I own one.

Get this Schiit Vidar amp for $800

Get this Saga 2 class A preamp for $279

It should take care of your dynaudio...all brand new with warranty and about 400 dollars left for other worldly pleasures.

I started with a great system and I managed to downgrade it to an OK sound through a lot of trades, sales, questionable decisions and shrinking budget. (No regrets, it's been a fun journey.) I ended up with very low sensitivity, hard to drive speakers and now I need more power. Will 100 Watts be enough and is it OK and safe to buy used? Any brands that are a good value at $1500?

Thanks @deep_333 ! I can also just try them I guess if it does not work out.
