Hafler DH500


I have a Hafler DH 500 running a pair of AR 303a speakers thru an Adcom preamp.  I would like any recommendations for a similar unit.. 500 wps minimum in a more modern unit that I won't have to take out a Home Equity loan to purchase...      Anybody.........?

Why do you need 500 Watts? I can think of a number of sub-500 watt amplifiers which would sound magnificent. 

Hafler amps often sounded under powered to my ear, if that's how you are basing your needs, Bryston, Parasound, and older CJ amps would totally outperform them with less power.

Something did just occur to me. These older amps often benefit a great deal from re-capping. However, in practice most people recap, like the changes, and then end up selling the amp anyway. :)

I don't really need that kind of power Erik.. the Hafler is actually 250 per ...not 500.  My mistake. I have heard Bryston Amps on other systems... nice.  Is there a particular one that you would recommend?
