used power amp under 1500
I started with a great system and I managed to downgrade it to an OK sound through a lot of trades, sales, questionable decisions and shrinking budget. (No regrets, it's been a fun journey.) I ended up with very low sensitivity, hard to drive speakers and now I need more power. Will 100 Watts be enough and is it OK and safe to buy used? Any brands that are a good value at $1500?

@devinplombier Musical Fidelity A308. So far it checks all the boxes. (Aside from the looks) Also, the class D amps I tried were harsh for sure, not terrible but lacked warmth.. |
@parkergetdean that should check most of your boxes. How are you liking it so far? |
@audphile1 I wrote in the comments here that I couldn't connect both my CD player and turntable to my DAC, therefore I could not get away with a power amp. It was my screwup. So I had to get an integrated. Thus you are not wrong, originally I was looking for a power amp but on page 2, I switched. @devinplombier I love the price. Also the very detailed and layered and powerful sound. It's not the warmest amp but with my sub it can be pretty sweet. Overall I am happy now, with all my gear from a 100 mile radius from England, good synergy, rich sound, small footprint. Thanks for all your help! I have learned a great deal. |
