Specs won't tell you very much. Emotiva sells for so low a price, that you probably don't have to shop used. I concur that used Arcam and Rotel are probably a good deal, if that's the styling that you like -- for instance, Emotiva doesn't appeal to me style-wise. Sherborn looks very nice, but I've never heard of them before??
You may want to go into this with a pre conceived notion of what amplifier power you want, but that may not tell you the entire story nor even be significant. Knowing what loudspeakers you will likely pair the amplifier with is probably the best thing to know beforehand, though, as well as the size of room (which should be matched with the room dimensions roughly).
