Power amp for Tannoy system 12 dmt II

[Surdo]

I recently bought a pair of Tannoy system 12 dmt II speakers to use in a home studio and I am looking for a budget amp. I am writing from Brazil where there are fewer options in the used market and prices are higher - importing is not an option because of high duties.

Tannoy recommends an amp of between 50 and 300 watts. I found the following amps on the local equivalent of eBay. If any has any comments on the relative merits of these please let me know. Prices are in Brazilian "real"

Urei 6230 R$1900
Hafler TA 1600 R$990
Hafler P1500 R$1200
Hafler dh200 (don't know if it's a kit model) R$1000
Bryston 3B $2300
Bryston 2blp R$1800

The prices will probably come as a shock!

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

That TA1600 looks nice.

After some reading, it seems the 1600 has an inherent problem:

Thanks for spotting that, I wasn't aware of it. Any views on the other amps? Other suggested used amps for monitoring? There are quite a few Crown amps available, but so many models, I'm not sure where to start.

Crown makes good stuff. I'd recommend looking into the available models.

What preamp do you use?

Bryston or UREI amplifiers here best.
