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?

Geez,I bought my speakers for $350,but thenm again I have heard speakers going for $3500 that don't come close.Cost is relative believe me.

Odyssey Stratos are forward Bias'd and I could not imagine it not being musical.You could probably talk him down to $800 to include shipping.

There is a set of Muse amps at Agon that are nice and another Aragon that went uo today.

There are plenty of amps to choose from there.You just have to pick one when your ready.

I would love to have those Muse amps for my Vertical amping.I've read they are really great for driving the BASS which is what I need.

Happy choosing!

What year did this Conrad Johnson MF 200 amp come out. I dont remember any MF 200 amp. Is this an older amp from the 80s.
