I almost got Cronus magnum 2 but kept seeing so many on secondary market figured it wasn't a great sign. I wanted Manley, but too expensive, same with the Cary sli-80...I ended up going for primaluna Classic, which is a great sturdy amp that holds its excellent value, haven't seen those on secondary market really...I do wonder what more watts would sound like sometimes, but look forward to upgrading to the KT-88s...the primaluna supposedly lasts longer, putting less stress on the tubes...
