Thanks everyone for your input! I’ve tested Onkyo A-9050 and the sound was clean and bright which was probably the combination of SF-2's and the amplifier itself. My next step was to look into a better pair of Klipsch speakers until I ran into this monster. It needs some cleaning but the sound was mind blowing.

Hello, Help this guy out, I am looking for an amp to match my modest setup. Turntable: Music Hall Icura CD player: Marantz PMD-326C Speakers: Klipsch SF-2 100 watts maximum continuous (400 watts peak) This setup will be used for playing vinyl and CD with a focus on heavy metal with fast drumming. The room is 14x14 feet. My budget is $500 but it can be adjusted for 10-20 percent. A few models I am considering: Music Hall a15.3 Onkyo A-9050 Yamaha A-S500BL Thanks!
