Best used amp $750 range

I third on the McCormack 0.5...this amp almost has everything you can possibly want from an amp at this price!! Hugely recommended!!

There's a fourth upgrade now for the McCormack amps called the Revision A Gold. I'm having that done on my DNA-1 Deluxe and am expecting the amp back any day. The ability to upgrade an already outstanding amplifier is a big plus.

I just got done shopping for a used amp in this range, and I ended up with a Perreaux 2150B. Works in class A most of the time and then in AB up to 200 Watts. It is pretty smooth, though not lush like a Classe or YBA. But what it does have is good sound with plenty of power, which is hard to find in most class A amps. Plus it's built like a tank. I saw another one on Ebay just today. I got mine for about $600 including Shipping. Others that I considered were Forte, Bryston, Aragon (the 4004MKII is a must audition) and YBA audio refinement.

The Bryston is a good pick. I'd also encourage you to listen to a Hafler 9270. It is a NICE sounding amp with many of the same characteristics of the Bryston - quick and very warm sounding for SS. Ultimatley, you will want to get an amp that will match well with whatever preamp you are considering. Good luck.

Rouge 88 will run 800/900 used.you will never need anything more.
