Best Integrated 50wpc under 600 used

I am being honest...after some recent problems...my budget's dropped from 1000 to 600....i'd rather starve than sacrifice on HiFi (I'm a student)
I wanted to know what are the best deals around
so far I've heard about 5350 by creek ($1000 +)
YPA complete
Cambridge <--- ??
has anyone heard the creek 4340?
isn't there anyone out there like outlawaudio.com that has low profit margins for 2-channel amps
I want really clean sound. I am not choosey about ss or tube....I have home made high efficiency speakers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
If you have a high efficiency speaker, you should try the tube amplifier, within your budget, I know the Space-Tech Lab. products might match your requirement, just check "http://www.space-tech-lab.com" , they have a pre-owned equipment section, there list a lot of used equipments. But even their new equipment is selling with very low price, I have heard those equipments in their showroom, they sounds great , really liquid transparent, rich and warm.

If you go with used units, you can easily get the Puccini SE or AR Complete for $600-650. I got my Complete for $650 with remote last year and am very, very happy with it. Between the two, I think the AR has a little tighter bottom end, but that may system dependent. Both are excellent units and really fill a room with warm, clean, music. You can't go wrong.

Have you considered the Naim Nait 2? Wonderful little integrated, and don't let the "low" 20 wpc fool you; this thing can rock with the best. Fluid and dynamic.
