A used Quicksilver would be on my list. If you can find one, a used Music Refence RM9 would be my first choice, but most owners don't let go of them very readily.
which tube amp to try???
looking for some suggestions here. if you were looking to spend about $1,000 - $1,400 for a tube amp and would like at least 100 wpc, would you go with a cary slm 100 or a rogue m120. amp would be used to power infinity 1b mid/tweed panels. or another amp that would fit the bill,let me know your suggestions. i would like to try tubes,just not spending $3000 now to do it. and something on the more reliable side would also be good. i haven't had tubes yet and would like to have something that is not too problematic for my first go around. thank you for your input

100+ wpc for under ~$1,500? Might want to look at the used Manley M-120's or VTL Compact 100, mb-125, or Delux 300 monoblocks for sale here. |
If you can stretch that budget just a smidge, there is a terrific Butler Audio TDb-2250 on Audiogon right now for $1600/obo. Read up on these amps, they are marvelous... http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1237072924&/Butler-2250-Hybrid-250w-trades I have one of their 5 channel amps (TDB-5150) and I am thoroughly smitten by this amp's performance and sound. -RW- |
