Check out Spearit Sound (they're on the 'net). They have a demo CJ MF2500A with full warranty in your price range. I think they also have some with blems on the heatsink that you may want to consider as well.
this might be a silly question,is a MF2500 thats been factory upgraded to the A version as good as a newer MF2500A??

I have been told by CJ that when they perform the upgrade that it is the same as an original "A". However; you may wish to contact them and ask. They are a great company to deal with and I am sure they would be more than happy to answer your questions. Also if you are in doubt about an amp that you are considering buying I would get the serial number from the seller and ask CJ to verify that it is an "A". Again hope I could help.

Ray, I was wondering a few things. What's the sensitivity of your speakers? Are they hard to drive? What's the input impedance of your preamp? What are you looking for in your next amp? What kind of music do you listen to? There have been a few used units for sale on Audiogon in the last few weeks, I'd reccomend the "A" version. I had mine upgraded to the "A" version two years ago. After the upgrade, the amp had better highs, better bass, more control of my speakers, and a clearer sound. The soundstage expanded, while musicality remained close to the same presentation.
