Best amp for $550 to mate with the following...

My budget is $550 max on a power amp to mate with my Theta Miles cd player and NHT VT-1.2 tower speakers. I'm running the Miles direct into the amp (therefore using its analog volume control). Locally, I have a lead on an Adcom GFA-5802 for $550 or an Audio Refinement Multi 2 for $445.

Other possibilities/recommendations?

If it is possible save up and hold off and get a new Odyssey Audio Khartago for $995.00. Factory direct ,30 day return, 20 year warranty, made in USA. You would be better off in the long run than buying some older amp that might end up giving you a headache down the road. Check out their site!

An Emotiva amp would be a good, solid choice. The XPA-200 would work quite well for $499. Plenty of power and a great warranty.

Odyssey Khartago Plus usually go for around $600. Mine was outstanding

You can get the Odyssey only a few years old. I would have some concerns about the 20 year old amps that were great in their day.

I second the Emotive suggestion, particularly if used with balanced interconnects. Good hunting.
