A used Rotel RB-1080 (200 w/ch) can be had for $650. A highly regarded amp for the money. A less-powered RB-1070 (130 w/ch) can be had for $500.
$1k, new, power amp, 100w or less, what do you say
I am looking for a new power amp. No more than 100w, no less than 30. Tube, ss, class d, mono-blocks, whatever. I have a home brew 12au7 based pre-amp, home built speakers most like Oskar Heil Aulos, HK CD player w/ Scott Nixon dac. Listen to classical and Jazz. Would I like to have Krell monoblocks or Rowland Research?, Yes. Can I afford them?, no. I know this is not a lot of money for high end audio, but it is all I can spend at this time. Please advise. Thanks.
