Reliable Used int. amp for $1200? Plinius? Classe?


I have a C-J PF-R pre, & a C-J MF2250 SS amp, w/Spendor S3/5 SE speakers. Mainly for weight & size--the MF2250 weighs 36 lbs., & for various reasons I have to pull it out of the cabinet every so often w/my aging back--I'm thinking of going to a hopefully lighter weight SS integrated.

Getting service if the amp breaks is a big factor. I'm thinking: Plinius 8200, Classe CAP 101 or 151 (CAP 150-151 are heavy, probably), or maybe Simaudio?

+ or - $1200, & I know it partly comes down to "what's for sale" whenever. TIA for any advice!

Naim is an answer for you. A Naim 5i or used Naim XS would fill the bill nicely. You need to listen to Naim at a dealer first, s the sound will be different from the CJ equipment.
