Opinions on best integrated under 10k?

Yes, the used Diablo 300's go very quick once they are listed for sale.  Some are 220V and/or selling from overseas, so they are no good for me.  I would be interested to get a 120V one in good condition for around $7-8k.

120v Diablo 300 for 7-8k??

I would say get in line!

Doubt that is going to happen anytime soon

@uberwaltz  They are out there, but as RIAA mentioned earlier you will need to move quickly. If you go with a Euro spec unit (many more available, and lower prices) make sure Gryphon is willing to convert to US spec (I don't think you want to go the step-up transformer route).

I've also seen the Vitus SIA-025 (Mk2) close to the top of your budget range.

As you know, I have the T+A PA 3100 HV and am extremely happy with it. Their 3000 units can be had for close to the upper range of your budget, also.

These top tier integrateds are worth every dollar (and more) that you'll be investing in them, should you go forward with one. I encourage you to be patient and move accordingly. All the best.

Not for me, just commenting that never seen one at that price point.

I blew my amp money a long time ago, LOL. I did not spend it quick enough so someone else assisted me!

Quite happy with the Ayre ... For now!

Kevin, thought you were still in the hunt. : )

Good to know you are sticking with the Ayre.
