Newbie building modest system ...what amp?


I have a adcom gtp 400, rega rp1 so far with kimber kables for interconnects and speaker cables.

In search of Vandersteen 2ce's.

Looking to spend in the 500-600 range used for a power amp. Then will be on the hunt for a used preamp after that.

Any input would be appreciated.

i recently had three amps around this price range in my system at the same time - mccormack ht1 and 0.5 both smc modified and a macintosh mc7100. all were very good and exceeded my expectations, but the macintosh was definitely the best of the bunch. it’s an excellent sounding amp, and for the prices they sell for used (generally around $900), it’s an absolute steal.
