Amps that bring liveliness to low efficiency speakers?

Looking for used amps only - integrated or power amp, dual mono design. No class D!

Clipping at 300+ and 500+ watts respectively! Three now for sale on EBAY - $600, $800 and $1290. I bought one to use with my restored DQ-10's - a speaker that really benefits from a powerful amp!

The lack of liveliness could be due to a very warm sounding preamp/source and/or speakers rather than being inefficient. But more watts on an inefficient speaker is always good. If your have a very warm system, Bryston is probably just about the fastest responding amp I know of.
