Pretend you are me on a limited budget. Thinking I really need to replace my amp. Realistically I might get together $300 to spend. Optimistically $500.

What would you be looking out for.

No turntable.

I like my CDs. A lot. (Classical and classic rock)

Occasionally I'll put movies on through the system, but probably don't care about that.

Radio is a must.

Need to figure out how to rig up my digital stuff, but this is a secondary concern.

Do have my Marrantz HD880 speakers to drive .

What would you be on the lookout for and why?

(Be gentle. I know good sound when I hear it. I can hook things up properly and even made my own loop antenna. But really, most of this stuff is Greek to me).
