$6000 Budget Which used Amp ?

My Quest Z's sound great with my BATVK500, much smoother than with my Classe. I'd suggest a tube preamp and transistor amp, BATVK30 and VK500 are great in my setup. I've stayed away from tube amps, mostly due to the cost of changing tubes. I leave my stuff on all the time, tubes would need replacing fairly often and output tubes aren't cheap.

How about Sonic Frontiers Power 3? I was looking at both the VT200 and the Power 3. I found the Power 3 with a 5-year warranty here on Audiogon (Underwood Wally 770-667-5633, great guy) for a lot less than the VT200 used. The sound is very good with my B&W 801s.

I have Pass Labs X350 driving ML reQuests with MIT 750 Shotgun cables with great success. Very smooth and detail.

I may consider selling my X350 (1 year old in perfect condition) because I move all my equipment to dedicated HT room and will probably go for multichannel amp. I hate to depart with this amp, and may just add another multichannel one to drive other speakers - have not decided yet.
I will decide within a couple of month though.

One amp you should consider for any electrostats is the Innersound, which is specifically designed to handle the difficult load they present to an amp. I've heard it with the Innersound speakers, it was excellent, and there have been a lot of favorable comments about it here and in the rags. Worth a listen.

Yes, you should definitely check out the Innersound. And I think you could buy two of them new for your budget.
