used power amp under 1500

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?

I tried the H190 in my system. It was good but not the sound I was looking for. Belles - is the white whale for me. Not too far out from my budget but never shows up locally.

Thanks @blackbag20 !

I would love Bryston or Belles, still on the hunt.

I've sent a PM about a Belles 150A Reference V2 that I've enjoyed as one of the trusty power amps in the rotation.
