These are readily available on ebay: (http://cgi.ebay.com/David-Hafler-Model-DH-220-stereo-power-amplifier-220_W0QQitemZ160392533002QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVintage_Electronics_R2?hash=item255823d40a), and sound much more like music than most of what's out there, in your price range. They can be strapped mono, and there are companies that still offer upgrades, should you desire to go that route in the future. The one in the listing is either a later model, or has had a number of caps replaced with polypropylenes(the blue ones), that the early models didn't have. A VERY conservative 110 W into 8 Ohms(continuous), and can drive a 2 Ohm load without any problems.
Help me pick a power amp
Hi, I am sure this question is asked a lot but I am finding that searching this forum is rather difficult. I have a NAD C160 pre, and I just picked up a pair of B&W DM604S2s. I was going to get a NAD C270 power amp, but I can't really find any ones used for the price I am looking to pay. I have been looking at B&K Components, because I read on the forum that they make some of the best inexpensive amps there are. Is this true? I am looking to pay around $200, although less is better. The inputs will be a computer playing .flac files and a Rega P2. Any direction would be great, thanks!
