used power amp under 1500

thanks @doodle6 ! It would be awesome. I don't see any for sale right now.

All of you guys are awesome.

I’ve always liked the Hafler P1500. You can often score one for about $400. Got a couple around, if you’re interested, but check other opinions first.

Of the two DR9s, one of them appears to be "upgraded" a bit. But what cool amps they'd be for a vintage system. Buy two, run mono, get a pair of Maggie 3.5R panels, and see how that plays out.

I've owned and lived with Adcom, B&K, Pass Labs, Aragon, Forte, and McCormack, Decent amps with strengths, but better with certain speaker pairings than others.

The current rotation has been CJ Classic 62SE, a MF-2275, Herron M1 monos, the Pass A5, and the Belles 150. There's a Precision Fidelity M8 Hybrid on a shelf, but that has sentimental value, and comes back on special occasions when mid bass is desirable. 

Of that crowd, the solid state MF-2275, and the Herron M1 monos can sometimes be found for 1500. I'd recommend these as well; they have their own strengths.

ghdprentice I respect your choices and method, along with the passion you bring to it. I've enjoyed reading your posts for years. I'm a bit of a tourist in my second era of audio assessment, since 2012 or so. I do enjoy the social aspect of buying and selling gear with fellow enthusiasts. By having more than one system I can experiment and often learn something. 

thanks @zarf for looking at them! One of them seem to be damaged slightly. But both in good shape.

I had a similar experience when I bought my Revel Ultima Salon 2’s. I used a 5 channel Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature series (425 wpc high current) amp. I bi-amp them with excellent results.

I own 4 of these amps and I would consider parting with one of them. Mine are in exceptional condition so I would need a couple of bucks more then $1500 but we could probably work something out.
