Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced


Hello everyone,


When I think of Power Amps (or integrated amps) that play / sound way beyond their price-point and can be non-household names, I think of companies like:


  1. Belles (Power Modules)
  2. McCormack
  3. Coda


Can you guys please suggest other Power Amps / Companies that are also somewhat unknown or of great value?


Your suggestions would really help me and others.  Thanks!

Find an old Hafler D-220, or one of the pro versions of the 220, clean it up and install John Hillig's mods from Musical Design. Sounds great, will probably outlive you, and is fun to do.
@adeep42  ,
do you understand the title of this thread? You must have millions to throw to consider Ayre underpriced!

For a solid state selection, my vote is the Maker Audio NL 14+ mono blocks. A very muscular 325 watts into 8 ohms and 54 amps of constant current can really put a grip on speakers.
