Dynaco Stereo 70 comes to mind, might be a little low in terms of power. About $400~$500 bucks. Not as detailed as you might want.
Rogue 88 amps are available used under $800. 60 WPC. 60 watts ought to be about right, depending on what kind of music you listen to.
A Citation II can be had under $2,000, excellent amp, solid 60 WPC. It's a hard amp to beat. Probably the best output transformers ever made, bar none.
There's an Audio Research D-70 on Audiogon for $800, 60 WPC. A-R amps are pretty nice.
There are a number of Conrad-Johnson amps available on the used market, these are very good amps. There's a Premier 11 (70 watts/ ch) on Audiogon at the moment for $1,450. If you'd like more power, there's Premier 1 (200 watts / ch) on Audiogon for $3,000
The C-J stuff has a slightly "warm / sweet" sound but only slightly so.
Science doesn't care what you believe.
