Power amp recommendations for 1000 and under

Hello all

I have budgeted $1000 dollars for a power amp (new or used) and wanted to know from people what they would buy in my position.

Thanks

Might just be one of the best bargains listed here in a while... No link to the seller, just a recommendation on what is known to be a great amp at an even greater price!

What I would do though is buy a DNA-0.5 and put the rest back towards a revision A upgrade for the amp from SMC Audio. If you opt to go with the DNA-0.5, you can take the rest of the money and apply it towards a better pre-amp. I personally like what a tube pre-amp does between a CDP and SS amp. I use a Cary Audio SLP-50B.

This is an integrated amp but for the $ you have to spend you cant buy a great preamp anyway
