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?

Unfortunately, I am already brainwashed, I see nothing wrong with 6 amps. That shows what's wrong with us :)

Surprised only one poster brought up current.

Its my understanding low efficency speakers need a high current amp.

My upgraded Odyssey Kismet ( about 150 wpc) is a high current amp and drives my low efficency Magnepan 1.7i s very well.

If you go used with any amp, be mindful of its age. Not all but some cases 12 -15 years is pushing it for cap life.

The Bryston warranty is now 10 years, and not transferable...not sure how this affects products purchased before the change...
