Want to replace RED Dragon amps with stereo amp

Price range?

Since you like your Pre3 so much, how about the Bel Canto REF150s stereo amp?

***Bel Canto dealer disclaimer***

i agree with Goldprint. Ref150 is very natural sounding amp and very affordable.
how do/did you like your Red Dragons so far?
i'm thinking of upgrading my Sunfire SRA to I guess M1000 and love to stay with digital amps in my hot climate.

Bel Canto also has a nice integrated amp

To Marakanetz: Red Dragons are very nice amps. However, they have the dumbest speaker connections I have ever seen. Instead of standard 4 or 5 way binding post connections. They use this short tit or nub that you place the spade lug over. To secure the lug to the nub and amp chassis, there is a plastic plate that applies pressure to the plate via a knob and holds it in place. Not very secure. They do NOT accept banana plugs

So far I have had no mishaps. The problem is you cannot buy used speaker wires with lugs at the amp end, and bananas at speaker end. Most wire is either all lugs or all bananas. So I have lost great deals on used speaker cable because of these stupid connectors. My speakers don't readily like spade lugs. Let us face it banana plugs are the easiest and most secure, and with my freakin bad back I don't want to mess around with connectors anymore.

BTW, There should be a member review of RD M-500 amps from 2 years ago on Audiogon.. Check it out. Regarding buying a Bel Canto Ref 150 stereo amp, they don't come cheap even used. I am still harboring the idea of a good integrated and to hell with separates. Ideally I would like to downsize to a three component system However, Thanks to all for the advice and comments.

Not a problem for me because I use bare wires on both ends. If I need I can replace connectors to good binding posts. My buddy once bought ref150 for $800 used. Due to the lack of power he traded this one in for higher price($850 to the dealer) to get W4S ST1000.
I guess he'd get just as quick selling it by himself for over a $1000 used. The amp had no signs of usage and still smelled new with all documents.
