Looking for an inexpensive low power amp with exquisite sound


I have an itch to combine an Axiom II Passive Preamp with an inexpensive, low-power but exquisite-sounding amplifier. 10 wpc should do it, tube or SS. $1000 or less for the amp would be great; $2000 or less might be OK too. Any bright ideas or experience out there, contrarian or otherwise?

Merry Christmas to all,

I agree with tomcic601 the RM-10 is a great choice and works great with passive preamps. I run mine with W4S STP-SE into Reynaud speakers. Designed by Roger to drive his personal Vandersteen 2C speakers which it did with my 2CE Sigs with ease. The Nuprime badged Job amp is also a really good amp and a bargain. I could hear no difference between it and the Job 225 it was based on. There is one for sale for a good price on US Audiomart now.
