You originally posted this on another thread. You received many good recommendations  from all the good people here. So what did you do?  You went and bought a $800.00 boat anchor on craigs list. I hate to burst your bubble but now you are  "Throwing good money after bad"

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?

thanks @yogiboy and @thecarpathian to clarify how inept and stupid I am. Thankfully it is fully documented here. 

All pile on the rabbit!

It is good to document these things for posterity!😀

btw when I was looking for an amp for $1500, I had close to $1500. When I bought the {***] from cl, I had $800

IF I had X, I would spend X+100 on audio gear. I am not cheap, I am poor.
