best used amp pre-amp combo for a grand


For those who have been around (audio) for a while. Could you tell me what is the best (used) deal going for an amp/pre-amp combo. For music only-running Klipsh Heresys

I would go for a nice integrated.. for the money..
Try a Musical fidelity A300.. very nice piece supposed class a design and true dual mono.. Great binding posts and very musical with tons of bottom end... the klipschs will sing. The Krell 300i is a little pricer but still nice..
If i had to pick separates.. go for a b and k Pro 10 mc for about 300.00 and spend the rest on an aragon 8002 dual mono... that is a killer combination.. Try to get an 8002 with xlr.. the pro 10 has xlr outs and is a sweet preamp with a passive mode and external power supply.. great piece..
"I do want to be able to run speakers in 4 locations."

Better check Audio by Van Alstine's integrated amp. The professor knows what he's doing...and his amps are designed for long speaker runs. I heard his stuff at the Chicago Audio Society last November--truly outstanding, affordable high end gear.

BTW, I heard that Musical Fidelity A300 in Ann Arbor last month and sounded AWFUL. Read my post "Voodoo in Ann Arbor."
For an amplifier,look into Hafler. They are musical and reliable, unlike much of the high end junk out there that has a high failure rate. The preamp? Acurus.
Try picking up an Acurus amp & preamp combo. Mondial who was bought out by Klipsch had cleared out most of their stock as they were dropping this brand name.
They have a 5 channel 125X5 and a 200X5 that you may be able to get used for under 70.00??

I still see some of the amps for sale out on audioreview.com and many people have posted reviews out there as well.
