Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced

Hello everyone,


When I think of Power Amps (or integrated amps) that play / sound way beyond their price-point and can be non-household names, I think of companies like:


  1. Belles (Power Modules)
  2. McCormack
  3. Coda


Can you guys please suggest other Power Amps / Companies that are also somewhat unknown or of great value?


Your suggestions would really help me and others.  Thanks!


Matt

i hope anyone who contributes in this thread can try to keep in context. people with deep pockets have a different start point when their "value products" are actually our holy grail.

try comparing dartzeel amp with FM acoustics..

Inna,

Yes, YBA was good. Now is being run by Shanling from China. Sound quality DROP! only the Signature still built in France but at rocket pricing.

hi ,
does anyone know of lesser known hybrid amps? i done some research but only a handful of names such as Van Alstine, Aesthetix, Union Research, BlueCircle, JE Audio, Monarchy Audio, Moscode, Vincent, Pathos, and Butler audio.... so that's about it ?! And one last great hybrid is from tube distinction (Soulmate)but already defunct. 
btw, please keep chinese brands out of this list. 
Thanks in advance.

@adeep42  ,
do you understand the title of this thread? You must have millions to throw to consider Ayre underpriced!
