I paid $600 used here on AGon for my OHM "Super" Walsh 2s, which are fairly recent 100S3 CLS drivers in refurbed original OHM Walsh 2 cabinets. These are essentially full range and can compete with most anything out there when set up properly in typical size rooms.
Denon DL103R for $300 is another giant killer that can compete with the best.
The NAD 7020 receiver that I picked up in a pawn shop for $25 back in the 80's is still garnering rave reviews (from me) pinch hitting as a pre-amp only in my smaller family room system. I normally use this as a spare but I am hard pressed to replace it this time around as a pre-amp only.
mhdt Constantine DAC for just over $300 used here on Agon, another big hitter for very little. Its sister tube DAC the Paradisea cost a TAD more and is just a TAD behind in the performance category.
Tube Audio Designs TAD 125 Hibachi monoblocks cost me well under $1000 here on Agon, and could the last amp many people would ever need.
