As Andy mentioned, if you could find a Parasound Halo A21 for close to your budget...which would be a super bargain, go for it.
If you were reasonably lucky, there could be a Parasound HCA-1200II still around, which though older is sonically almost as good. It actually is a little more powerful than the A21. The trick here is finding one who's owner you can trust. If it has been in storage for several years, that may not be good. If is has always been in use and in working condition, great.
The 1200 (not II) could be a good purchase also but it is a bit oldish, ergo, riskier. On one of these, you would want to be able to hear it by yourself and perhaps have a chance to look inside for signs of capacitors going bad. One can't always tell by looking but it is surprising how some electrolytic caps that are clearly dying will still allow good sound for a while.
