Solid state amp around 2000-2500 used or new

I currently have a Odyssey khartago, and am looking to upgrade to another solid state amp of around the same power 100-200 watts. Right now I am considering a used Pass Labs X150.5 or something from Mckormack (maybe a DNA-125). Any other contenders in this price range?

My switch from a Odyssey to a AVA Synergy 550 was a big step up.

I would look for a Classe amp in mint condition. Many consider the older models(CA-100/150/200/300/400)better sounding and having better build quality. You should be able to find a mint version of 1 of these models under $2K.

big dif with snergy was hearing every line of each instrument in symphony or stingquartet which is most of what i listen to most, much more solid and tuneful base as well.

Why, a pair of DIY Hypex NCore NC400 monoblocks of course.

schubert: which Odyssey amp did you have? Also is the synergy 550 discontinued, I couldn't find it on the site?
