Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range


Hi guys, slowly upgrading my system on a bang for the buck budget. Anyone know of a musical, dynamic amp for under a grand? I would prefer new, but if anyone knows of a good deal on the used market, that could work, as well.

@mzkmxcv: It seems a tad unfair to criticize a manufacturer for not providing a graph when they summarize a lot of data relevant to consumers.

It is more unfair to criticize George for relying on such specs regarding Schiit amps without graph data when you thereafter recommend gear not having graph data:

Same with the Outlaw amp recommendation. 


OMG - my recommendations are so far above emotiva, outlaw, etc.  Different class altogether.
@peter_s Not clear what your point is. What does it mean “different class altogether” absent any additional info?
 @mrdecibel Sorry if that seemed defensive, I riffed off your suggested 3 by Referencing a system built around them.... but omg yes, what a boring world IF we had was one brand of speaker....

i respect your experience and contributions here :-) and I learn stuff from you re the all class A DH-220

i built one of those  kits about every month to help put me they college.....maybe all that solder got to me

or the beer...


I own an STA200 and it is in fact a great little amp if you have the right preamp for it but in my almost 20 years with three different Vandersteen models my favorite amplifier match was Odyssey.  For $995 the Khartago is as good as you are going to get and it's higher input sensitivity makes preamp choice a lot easier.  The Khartago was a great match for several years with a pair of 2CE Sigs at my house and more than held it's own with Treo's. Plus there is a 20 year transferable warranty.
