A Belles SA-100 amp just popped up on that other site (USAM) for $1250!
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?

Thank you @mitchagain and @mrdecibel it looks great, even the inside. Unfortunately my funds are spent but Belles remains that white whale for me. |
This thread called to me with the title discussing the topic of "power amps for $1500, Alex." Then it inspired me to list an amp that has been in rotation, but deserves a home with something like Dynaudios, or maybe some smaller Maggies and a tube preamp. At least, that’s what I’d put together looking down the road. So I’ve lowered the price on the Belles 150A Ref V2 listing if there’s interest in trying it out. If anyone is interested in discussing other minor treasures, like a Conrad Johnson MF2275 or a pair of Herron M1 monos, I like this particular patch of amplification possibilities, and have been enjoying the results. |
