    you won't go too wrong with that list.

    the m504 and the Bryston would be my choices. the LSi line loves beefy carver amps too. My LSi15's being driven by a TFM 45 is an epic win

    In the used $500 range I'd throw out there the Marsh A200S. You'll be hard pressed to find a more musical amp at that price level. Don't let the 125 watts fool you, it's a very impressive amp.

    $500 for a Onk M-504? Can the guy look you in the eye and ask for that much? That is ridiculous.

    i believe you can get a M-504 for a lot less... $350-$400, which would be nice so as to spend the rest on cables or other useful upgrades
