Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers?


Browse the listings for power amplifiers (e.g. under $5K) and you notice a myriad of Classe, Parasound, Bryston, older McIntosh and Mark Levinson and lots of Pass Labs.
So many in fact that you wonder why.
What are the true audiophile gems in the pre-owned solid state market? Thanks in advance.

If you are lucky you may find a Benchmark AHB2 for a few hundred dollars off the MRSP of $3K. They tend not to show up too often. Could be that not many were sold or people who bought them tend not to sell them.

I'd rather have the AHB2.
