Good under 200watt stereo amp for under $800

I figured I would start a new thread now that I have been given the go ahead by the wife to spend up to $800 on my stereo amp.

I've been given some good ideas in the "Under $600" thread and would like to see what you think of these choices:
McCormack DNA-1
Aragon 4004
B&K 4420
B&K 2220
CJ MF200
Odyssey Stratos

Any others to consider?

Love the Aragon... 8002
4004 is very nice also...
8002 just seems more musical imo.
Will drive any speaker you want...
easy to upgrade to cardas copper or other binding posts
built like a tank..
Happy listening,
Joe

I've seen the original Blue Circle BC22 sell used for around $800 since they introduced the Mk2 version. It is rated at 125 watts which may be enough power???

In addtion to the MF200 you may also find the newer Conrad Johnson MF2200 (also 200 watts).

Someone just listed a Hafler 9505 for $650. I have one of these and I love it.

I would definitly consider the Monarchy amps.They are ClassA and you will not get better sound then a ClassA based amp.

Happy Hunting!
