Under 1500$ Solid State Amp for Usher Be-718

Hi-
I have the Ushers too. I have used a McCormack DNA .5 with great results. I am currently using a Musical Fidelity int amp which I like even better. From your list, I would go with McCormack. Or if tubes, BAT or CJ I bet would be great too.

Agree on Bryston 4BST...watch the treble depending on your tastes...otherwise tremdendous power.

Like CJ MF2500...but preferred the midrange magic of CJMV60s...wonder if you could stretch your budget and get 2 MV60s...monoblock for roughly 120 watts (dont think it doubles into lower impedance so i [think] monoblocking these gets you double the wattage.

i want an amp with a nice midrange body.
anny Musical Fidelity amp in this range.

I have yet to post the ad but....I'm selling a Belles 150A Reference for less than your price. Interested?

No one mention its own R1.5 ?
I have one driving my new BE20 - Sound so good that I bought 2nd one to use as monoblocks for the BE20 - and the 3rd one for my second system
BTW: I'm from tube world as I still own Cary 805C, Atma MA1. But these cannot drive the BE20

Used price is less than $1500 - built like a tank (89 lb)
