$6000 Budget Which used Amp ?

How about Sonic Frontiers Power 3? I was looking at both the VT200 and the Power 3. I found the Power 3 with a 5-year warranty here on Audiogon (Underwood Wally 770-667-5633, great guy) for a lot less than the VT200 used. The sound is very good with my B&W 801s.

I have Pass Labs X350 driving ML reQuests with MIT 750 Shotgun cables with great success. Very smooth and detail.

I may consider selling my X350 (1 year old in perfect condition) because I move all my equipment to dedicated HT room and will probably go for multichannel amp. I hate to depart with this amp, and may just add another multichannel one to drive other speakers - have not decided yet.
I will decide within a couple of month though.

One amp you should consider for any electrostats is the Innersound, which is specifically designed to handle the difficult load they present to an amp. I've heard it with the Innersound speakers, it was excellent, and there have been a lot of favorable comments about it here and in the rags. Worth a listen.

Yes, you should definitely check out the Innersound. And I think you could buy two of them new for your budget.

For high-powered tubes I'd take a serious look at the Art Audio Jota, and they also have a new and supposedly even better amp that I don't recall the name of. Check out reviews on Soundstage!.com, and you may even consider emailing Srajan Ebean from GoodSound!.com who is very familiar with the amps and may have some valuable info. for you.

On the solid state side you might be able to find a used McCormack DNA-2 LAE(Limited Anniversary Edition) that is said to be one of the best amps ever made--of course that's always relative to personal tastes and equipment. I think there's a reprint of a review from one of the mags(TAS?) on Audioreview.com if you're interested in more info. I bet you could buy it and if it didn't work sell it at no loss given the reputation of this amp. Best of luck.
