Dearly departed Music Reference RM9


My Music Reference RM9 is down and beyond repair. I'm devestated as it has been the heart of my system through so many changes. My system is- Lexicon RT 20/ Cal Audio Alpa- VPI Scout Master/ Soundsmith Carmen- Jadis DPL- RM9- Dynaudio C1 model 2's, all high end cardas cable. Any suggestions from those that know? The RM9  had really sweet mids and while a tube amp, never sounded overly soft like many I've heard. Thanks for your help, fellow fanatics/ addicts.

There is one listed here. Since you like that amp so much you should buy it!
The old CJ was very recessed the RM 9 were much less colored. 

What is your budget for an amplifier? 
The Dynaudios really like current, I would have thought you would have actually wanted to go with a more musical solid state amplifier. 

The Jadis stuff is also a bit on the full midrange type of sound. 
As has been said above, there is an RM-9 Mk.2 on Audiogon right now at an asking price of $2600. If you don't need the RM-9's 125w/ch, Music Reference has a real nice 35w/ch amp, the RM-10 Mk.2. Also the 100w/ch RM-200 Mk.2, with a bipolar input stage and tube driver and output stages.
Its bad timing for me, I'm hoping that I don't gave to spend much more than $2,000.00. I've been very satisfied with my system for many years, and dont really know whats out there. Audiotroy, I have considered a solid state amp., the dyns are power hungry.   Like you said, the Jadis is quite full in the mids- bugle boys worked well for me. Back when I followed audio gear, Krell and Levenson were putting out highly rated amps. Any ideas on a musical solid state amp at this price range, used?
