I have an Exposure 3010s2d int amp in excellent shape for sale. $1250 plus shipping, which should be around $100...
Budget integrated amp?
Friend's amp is having issues and he asked me what was "good...for around $1000 new". Like me he is deep in the middle of the Pacific, actually deeper than me because he is on the Big Island of Hawaii, out in the desert/volcano area. I suggested the Schiit Ragnarok 2 which I have only read about but is on sale and has both good writeups and a 5 year warranty and is American made. Also, the Marantz PM6007, a few Rotel amps I read about that are on deal at Crutchfield (which ships to Hawaii free) and the Outlaw RR2160, which I have heard at another friend's. He is an older boomer like me and wants something like his old Marantz 2252B. I told him that those dont exist anymore. For those of you who might have head some of these am I giving him good ideas and have I missed anything substantive. He is not oriented to used and is on a tight budget. He is running both a CDP and an iFi streamer. Suggestions?

I went through the same dilemma I tested Yamaha, Creek, Rogue and Vincent Audio amps Creek was easily the best and Yamaha by far the worst. Rogue the 2nd worst. From Crutchfield, I would get a NAD. I don't the know the Rotels. I would trust Denon too. The good thing is it cost $15 with Crutchfield to try for 60 days. After my search I decided to stick with used (Moon or Hegel) but I don't know how to listen to them yet, before buying or I will just go with the Creek. You also have https://www.underwoodhifi.com/ in Hawaii? Not that I see anything on their list to buy |
