25k is a nice budget. You should have many top quality amps to choose from. The Boulder 866 int is an amazing amp. 200 watts into 8ohms doubles to 400 watts at 4 ohms. Drives my 4 ohm speakers with ease. Good luck!
Best amp for Salon 2
I am new here and working on my first setup. I was able to find an excellent deal on Salon 2 as the shop was getting rid of floor displays. Unfortunately they only carry Anthem STR and Mark Levinson in pre-amp and amp. I just heard Anthem and they sounded good. Mark Levinson is significantly expensive. Looking at the specs I could not make out much difference. This set up is going to last for years for me. Are there any better amps out there for Salon 2 ? I would prefer to stay below $25K.
