Great Amp Suggestion for Aesthetix Calypso

Hi guys, I need some responses for a Great Amp match for my Calypso. I'll be buying used and my budget is $2,500.00. Speakers are Snell Type Aiii, not very efficient. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I'd take a swing at this Coda System 100, you may be able to get it for $2500. Coda makes great amps, but are relatively unknown. They don't spend a lot of money on advertising. I'm currently running a Model 11, which is sort of like a System 100, with 100 wpc of pure Class A power, but all in one chassis.

The Coda is a nice choice. I will add these;

Conrad Johnson MF 2500a ( be sure it is an A version )
Monarchy SE160 hybrid mono amps

Best amp would be the Aesthetix Atlas stereo amp. I own it and it is wonderful. However the best used price I have seen is $4000.

The other amps can be had for under $1800.

BTW, I have no affiliation with the seller and I forgot to mention, I love your moniker Barfbag!!
