markj941, These guys are very reputable. I’ve been dealing with them for 15+ years. Classe’ M700 monos https://m.ebay.com/itm/Classe-M700-Pair-Mono-Blocks-Audible-Elegance-Cincinnati-Ohio-/162715839410?_... Good luck in your search. N |
I have a pair of Quicksilver Mid Monos , paid $1050 used, like new only a year and a half old.... honestly if I paid $1895 new i would still feel like it was a tremendous value...... 40 watts with stock EL34 which sound quiet good. 45 with KT88s , ive run them with both and really like the KT66 that are in them now..... put it this way, if i ever replace them I will never sell them. They are that good. And if i do it will be with a pair of 120 monos |
I concur with Dweller. In that price range Klaus Bunge of Odyssey can likely build you Khartago amps. I would recommend an upgrade to extremes. These amps for the money rival anything under $5k and I will tell you I have seen his bigger amps give $10k amps a run for their money. There are certainly better amps but these solid state units are pretty darn good. They are built in Indianapolis and based on a German design. |
A pair of wired M-125 monoblocks new would run you $800 above your budget but you'd be happy: http://www.tubes4hifi.com/bob.htm#M125 |
