Best used Solid State Amp $1500.00

Go with Bryston if you want airiness and detail and a good bottom end. I have (2) Bryston 3B-ST's running bridged. This configuration gives me 400WPC into 8 ohms. The 250 WPC 4B-ST can be found used for about $1500. This amp has a 20-year parts and labor warranty. I also have owned the Cinepro 1K2SE. This amp absolutely kicks ass for rock. You can find Cinepro amps used for about 1K and they have enormous amounts of power. Also, try their website (www.cinepro.com) and sometimes they offer demo deals. This amp may be one of the better amps on the market for the money if you really want to kick.

DON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU CHECK OUT THE MUSE 160. THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST AT TWICE IT'S $1,900.00 LIST PRICE. IF YOU CAN FIND ONE UNDER $1,200.00 USED, JUMP ON IT AS I'VE FOUND THEY'RE NOT EASY TO COME BY. CHECK OUT REVIEW ON AUDIOREVIEW.COM IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE.

If it was me and I had my heart set on an Aleph 3 I'd get one used. Make sure you buy it cheap enough and if you don't like it then sell it and get something else. The sound of the Aleph 3 is better than anything listed above and it would be a shame for you to miss out on it. I think I saw one for sale for 1350.00, offer 1250.00 Good luck

LIKE I SAID,MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE POOR BASS I'VE READ ABOUT.HOW COULD THE ALEPH-3 GET SUCH A GREAT REVIEW IN STEREOPHILE,TIE WITH THE KRELL-600 FOR AMP OF THE YEAR THEN I READ ITS NOT SO GREAT AFTER ALL.TALK ABOUT CONFUSION!!! Ejlif please respond and anyone else.

Try the Symphonic line RG1 MKII. Best solid state midrange. Awesome bass too.
