Can anyone suggest a good 2-channel amp for $1500

bryston

Rogue 120'S MONO TUBE AMPS.I have owned about 20 Very large ,amps, Solid state including theshold, aragon ,audio research, 6 Krells ksa mda, VTL 300 Hurricanes Zeus ect.I have not found a more enjoyable sounding amp the the rogue 120's. The bass control will amaze you Kicked my krells ass in control the mids and highs are fast clean natural sweet and just right. I suggest these without question in the 100 watt range

since no one has mentioned Plinius, let me suggest that a used Plinius 8100 (or 8200 with 175 watts)would be worth considering (there is an 8100 integrated on Audiogon for $800, and you also get a very decent preamp and I think phono). But I'm afraid I don't know how well they would synergise with your speakers.

Good luck,

David

I keep hearing Bryston, so I will have to look into this. Why are there so many more high-end Canadian units out there that we never hear about in the US? Perhaps it's a US-Centristic plot to hold out on great audio... Hmmmmm...

So, should your WPC recommendation on speakers match the amp's RMS power?
