Easy recommendation: Odyssey Khartago or Stratos. Inexpensive, great sound, IMO. Power switch on back, but Odyssey recommends they be powered up at all times for best sound, unless you will be away from home for more than a few days.
Want to replace digital monoblocks VG stereo amp
I have a pair of Red Dragon M-500 digtial monoblocks which are 250 RMS each. They sound good to very good but have some irritating operational features like on/off switches behind the amps, and no 5 way binding posts for the use of banana plugs. Spade lugs work but are difficult to keep tight and in place Sounds trivial until you have to move a heavy component rack to change or tighten speaker cables.
Need recommendations on a very good 100-125RMS stereo amp to drive a pair of Acoustic Zen Adagios. Would go with a McCormack DNA 0.5 or 125, but don't want to spend the bucks to upgrade it to Gold level to far exceed performance of Red Dragons Also, SMc has raised their upgrade prices. Willing to put $1000-1100 in the purchase used or new. Thanks, Jim
