Best power amp for under 1K

musical fidelity 3.2 or 3 will drive ineff.speakers and has good bass ext. they are around six or eight according to unit also there is some linn amps

Forte Model 4a, sweet little 50 wpc Class A biased amp that sounds more powerful than 50 wpc. Should be able to grab one for under $600.

For Tubes Onix SP3 should be able to get a NEW one with 3 year warranty for around 600.00.

Try some Monarchy SE100 monoblock amps. Fantastic sounding amps (but they do run hot). Also you might consider a McCormack DNA-1. (The DNA 0.5 is also available within your price range, and while I haven't heard the 0.5, it is a very well-respected amp.)

I've been looking at Odyssey amps of late.
