Driving my speakers with 15" jbl 2226h and Altec horns with emilar drivers. Replacing my Myryad MA-120 and Carver CT-7 because they have some high value on the used market, and I don't use these speakers critically enough to warent the price difference. I would prefer an integrated amp, but if there are any cheap power amps those could work do if I just reconfigure things a bit

Another option I might be looking for is a powered mixer or mixer amp, to use for parties, and then use the onkyo receiver I have to drive them other times. The idea is to have 2 amps, one for party room, 1 for tv room. Right now I have an onkyo receiver in the party room, and the MA-120 and CT-7 in the tv room, but I could move the onkyo to TV room, and put a powered mixer/mixer amp in the party room

Check out some vintage Adcoms? Something at 100W might be closer to $200 though. I have a GFA-5200 60W I got for about $120.

Old adcom plus sys

Finding a halfway decent 100w integrated at that price will be tough... depends how long you want to play the waiting game. Adcom is a good call though, or maybe keep an eye out for not-crappy used pro amps (Crown, Crest, etc).

If you find an older integrated amp, it might even have a phono pre-amp included. I'm sure you can find a turntable!

How old is "older?" No idea. The elder of my two amps has one. It might date back to 1990-something, I forget.

I think I'll probably get this: https://hartford.craigslist.org/msg/d/westbrook-emi-channel-2-150w-stereo/6841155541.html to use for parties, and use the Onkyo receiver for the tv room
