Budget Audiophile Looking For Amplifier Suggestions


Hi All,

I'm looking suggestions for a high quality ss 2-channel amplifier (120-150 WPC) made between 1998-2005 that may have sold for $2000-3000 but today would go for $800-$1100. What would you be looking for?

Best Regards,
Mike

There is a Bryston 3B-ST listed here for under a grand. The dealer has a 30 day return policy!
Lots of amps do this. They sound great.

Focusing too much on the alleged negatives of each technology leaves you buying nothing but massive Class A amps. Listen instead.

Best,

As a 10+ year dealer for Meadowlark and a 20 + year owner of Heron i speakers, Ospreys, and Kestrel Hotrods I feel somwhat qualified to chime in.  your speakers are exceptional.  Amplification is a personal choice almosy as much as speakers.  An Ayre v3 is a killer match.  A power.modules aria amp might be even better.  A Rogue Audio stereo 100 will make you smile every note you play.
