I want to improve my 2ch music, I have pioneer 811s and infinity interlude IL10 bookshelves, I was wondering what option would be better in same price range, my range is $200 US for a used amp, can you guys please help me? and any suggestions for used integrated amp in this price range? I was looking at hafler or adcom 545 for power amp, dont know mch about integrated amps.

I was thinking to hook integrated amp directly to the CD player....so comparison is with 811s with power amp or CD+ integrated amp.

In your situation, I think I'd go for the power amp instead of the integrated amp. When it comes to integrated amps, you are paying for controls and inputs that are already present on your Pioneer 811. I'd put the money into pure amp power - and not the other functions that the integrated amp provides.
