Budget Audiophile Looking For Amplifier Suggestions


Hi All,

I'm looking suggestions for a high quality ss 2-channel amplifier (120-150 WPC) made between 1998-2005 that may have sold for $2000-3000 but today would go for $800-$1100. What would you be looking for?

Best Regards,
Mike

I would 2nd or 3rd Krell. From my experience I would not go NAD or Arcam. Best of luck.
Anthem I225 Integrated Amplifier. Tons of power on tap. 225 8 ohms/310 4ohms. Awsome low end grip. It will run circles around NAD.  Can be found for $900- $1100 on A'gon regularly. Parts Connexion lists them occasionally with one year warranty. Phono and headphones onboard. Pre-output gives you options. Good luck!

Muse Model 100, older B&K, Adcom, etc. can still sound great in a budget system. I'm still using a Muse Model 100 as my center-channel amp with no complaints, while my other amps are Mark Levinson.
