Budget Audiophile Looking For Amplifier Suggestions


Hi All,

I'm looking suggestions for a high quality ss 2-channel amplifier (120-150 WPC) made between 1998-2005 that may have sold for $2000-3000 but today would go for $800-$1100. What would you be looking for?

Best Regards,
Mike

From that era, I would recommend the Jeff Rowland Model 1 Amp, wonderful sound and gorgeous build.  Jeff Rowland still owns his Company, so new upgrades and service are still available, and last Summer Jeff developed a new Circuit for the Model 1.  If you need more power, buy another Model 1 Amp and Bi-Amplify.  
And I agree with Meadowlark, I think that you will be happier with the Sound of a small, affordable, low feedback, Triode-capable Tube Amp like a Rogue Audio Stereo 100.  I would also look for older Cary Audio Amps like the Rocket 88, the CAD-50M's Ver.2 or Ver.3, or maybe some SLAM-100's.
