Shanling a3000,Jungson Hedo (currently one for sale on here) Vincent amps are made in china (similar to shengya) and seem to get great reviews, rogue sphinx as suggested above, if you could stretch the budget maybe a peachtree nova 125. I actually have a tube amp for sale on here (tad 60) that is more than powerful enough to drive proac response 2.5's to very loud levels and sounds spectacular.
Chinese integrated for around $1k
Hi guys,
I am looking for a powerful integrated amp around $1k.
Since my speakers are Chinese (Aurum Cantus Volla) I started looking into some Chinese amplification options, hoping they might surprise me the way the speakers did.
I have narrowed down the search to 2 options:
1. Dussun V6i
2. Shengya A-206mk
Both are quite powerful, both can be used as pure power amps for future tube pre-amp options, and both got decent to raving reviews over the net (for what it's worth).
Since there's no authorized dealer around me, this is going to be a blind purchase.
The Shengya is more expensive by ~$500, but is quite a looker to my taste (it just looks more robust).
So, has anyone had an experience with these amps an can shed some unsolicited light for me?
Thanks
