Hi,
I am trying to find a good used stereo amp to power my energy veritas 2.2 speaker. Currently I am using a Harman Kardon AVR-320 65WX2 to power the speaker. I am trying to find a more powerful amp and use the Harman Kardon as a pre/pro. Any suggestion is appreciated?

Hello duong
I use some Onkyo M282, 2 x 120 wpc/8 ohm amps. You can get them on ubid.com from time to time for a bit over $120 each, or mfg refurbished units from onkyo for about $200 each. You can check your local classifieds and pennysaver -sometimes you can find terrific values like Onkyo M504s, B&K's, Bryston, Anthem, ATI, Yamaha (M80's), etc. G'luck.

duong,
2x6spds has some great suggestions. In addition, I would add to look for the Odyssey Stratos although it may be hard to locate a used one. Try audiogon. Sushi might sell you his Adcom when he upgrades to the 3.6Rs. eh Masa !

MWC,
Oddyssey is out of my price range. But Adcom is OK. But which model?

I just purchased a factory refurbished Denon DRA-685 stereo receiver. 100w x 2, 0.05% THD, tone defeat (bypass),pre-out and main-in jacks. I'm sure you're looking for an integrated amp (and probably something more costly), but the Denon receiver works and sounds great. A very noticeable improvement (especially at lower volume listening) over my previous receiver. And, an awesome price!

Rotel RB-1070 is a very nice amp. I use one. You can get one used for about $400-500. It's certainly one of the better looking amps out there as well.
