Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced

Hello everyone,


When I think of Power Amps (or integrated amps) that play / sound way beyond their price-point and can be non-household names, I think of companies like:


  1. Belles (Power Modules)
  2. McCormack
  3. Coda


Can you guys please suggest other Power Amps / Companies that are also somewhat unknown or of great value?


Your suggestions would really help me and others.  Thanks!


Matt

Neither Hegel or devialet are class D. Hegel integrated are class a/b and devialet is hybrid with first x watts in class a.

Brown Electronic Labs 1001 MKV. Still better today than 99% of all SS amplifers available.

My Odyssey Audio HT3 (with cap upgrade) is nearly 10 years old.  I have not once in all these years even considered an amp upgrade.  This amp is a giant killer, with detailed, clean sound, never etched or bright, with stunning soundstage width and height.  If it remains as reliable as it has been (one cap failed while in warranty), it will probably be my last amp.

Also, the Arion Class D amps are outstanding, and reasonably priced.  I have heard several models, and had the RS-500 mono blocks in my system.  Wonderful amps.
