I am looking for the best amp (with a $1000 budget) to properlly drive two LSi15s now and a center and read LSi speakers in the future. My primary concern is MUSIC... a lot of Latin Jazz, Jazz, Classical and some of all the rest.

Thanks!

    I have the Emotiva LPA-1 driving my LSI 15's. Sound is much better than my old Sony ES receiver.......which I'm now using as the pre-amp for the Emotiva. Best part, the LPA-1 is $500 bucks. Check em out.
