???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???

Used ARC Ref 75 SE is definitely my end game amp. So happy and so done. 🙂

A bit above the price range being discussed. 

Integrateds under $4K budget max and new?

Low powered SS the MF A1.

High powered SS the Hifi Rose RA280.

High powered tubes the Galion TS120.

Low powered tubes I gotta cheat here a bit at $5K but the Line Magnetic LM-845IA is fantastic and if not made in China would be $15K minimum.

End game amps?  Well, I just happen to potentially have your end game amps, and they are a pair of Pass Labs mono blocks, the XA-100.5.  These would be perfect for you, and since winter is right around the corner, these also make terrific space heaters as you listen to your fave music - hah! 

Any accuphase amplifier. Especially the class a amps. 

This is one of best threads I have seen in my limited time in this forum. It’s actually helpful!  There generally are poor resources for buying used equipment to set up a really good system. You are really on your own if you are new to this and not able to spend unlimited amounts. Everything seems to be available used and it’s not junk. I would love it if the cognoscenti would regularly scan US Audio Mart and throw out system recommendations based on what’s out there. That would be so helpful!
