suggestions for high quality but inexpensive amps


especially looking for monblock amps to drive dali halicon 800 speakers. i have an integra 9.1 receiver which is ok in the power department (but has an excellent pre-amp) - about 135 clean rms watts per channel (but it's not very high current). figure it can run the side and rear surrounds without a problem. so, i am looking for either a pair of monoblocks, 3 monoblocks, or a 3-channel amp. i would prefer at this point not to pay more than $1000 per amp.

thanks for your thoughts!

bryston 2b used at 450 is a wonderful amplifier..I just had mine warrantied and it sounds like a new amp again. Pity I have no real use for it other than as a backup to the 300b amplifier.
I absolutely love my sonic frontiers power 2. Picked it up here on the gon for 1850.
