I am looking for new or used, at least 100w 8ohm per channel, no more than 200w per channel. I am using a tube pre-amp, based on the 12au7 and presently using new oskar heil speakers. My musical tastes run to jazz and classical. Let the opinions fly.
I would include the latest offerings from Quad and Marsh. You might find a Quad 909 for around $1000 or so and the Marsh 200 and 400 for a little below and above $1000. All worth listen.
Another plug for the Odyssey stuff as those are the only ones I have heard. Stratos used for $850 or new Khatargo $750. These amps are selling for 70% of the new price. I doubt you'd loose any money if you bought used and deceided to sell and go another route.
Kool39, you saw the preamp, I saw the speakers :). The Heil tweeters have a reputation for being somewhat bright. I didn't think a bright amp would match very well with them. In that vein, I don't think Bryston or Krell would work particularly well, either.
