You guys have pretty well convinced me that my Onkyo TX-SR 800 is a good front end for my system, but I would like to dip my toe into higher-end stuff without spending a fortune. I thought I might get a good used 200 (or so) watt stereo power amp to drive my M60's. When I listen to music, I pretty much like the Onkyo's "pure mode" in 2 channel stereo, even though it cuts out the sub.

Anyway, the following amps are up for auction right now on Ebay, in some instances, particularly the Adcom 555 II, there are multiple units to choose from. What does the group think of the following amps, and how much would you pay?

Adcom GFA 555 II, 5500, 5800, 5802
Onkyo Integra M-504
Parasound HCA 1200, 1500a
Yamaha M-80, M-70
Phase Linear 400

You guys are great, Thanks again.
