Cant go wrong with a THRESHOLD amp.You can most likely get a S-200 or s-300 in your price range.Sweet highs and slamming bass.Sold mines for a C-J and boy do i miss it.Steve

I also think that the McCormack DNA.5 or DNA-1 are the best amps available at this price point. I've used both extensively; they are smooth, detailed, have great bass and are not fatiguing. Either can be found used for under your cost target, but these are not "budget" sounding amps. And if you ever want "more", Steve McCormack offers 3 up-grade packages.
