A used Luxman 505UXII will drive anything, has bells and whistles if you want to use them, HT Bypass, and first 6watts are Class A
integrated amp on a budget
Hey, could you suggest SS integrated amp on a budget? 2500€ max (about 2800$).
I've upgraded my speakers to Klipsch Heresy IV. Have also leftover from previous setup 2 small Wharfendale subwoofers SPC8 (depends of situation might get rid of them). Listening mainly to rock and all kind of metal (think from Led Zeppelin to Cannibal Corpse).
Room size varies, as I'm moving at next year again. As input I use PC, so DAC. No need for phono. Streaming may be, but is not essential. May be used. Remote would be nice, but again not important..
I'd proabably go for simplest and most minimalist setup. Would have bougth Schiit Ragnarok 2 all included (with dac and phono), but they have been out of stock for a few months in Europe (probably world wide chip crisis).
Also, as in Europe, I've no clue for a good site for used amps. Can't order from US or UK, also US based companies are probably 150% in EU (and very likely vice versa).
Can't think of anything else right now, thanks in advance.

The Arcam SA30 Int. amp is another good choice. Lots of power, Built in DAC, great sound, and very flexible. Costs a bit more new ($3300.00). However, I've seen used go between 2-2.5k, if you can find one. |
Luxman model on ebay directly from Japan might have voltage problem，there is no imformation on ebay. @brianh61 Must check with the seller before put the order. |
@runwell - I was not actually pointing out the one on ebay but the fact that there are several available in the OPs price range.
I have been using one for 2 years now and it surprises me all the time. I do use the Separate mode as HT Bypass with my HT but I rarely engage the Tone Controls. Currently driving Fyne Audio F502SPs with ease. |
