@gloco I have a suggestion: if you can't afford an Osiris, how about a used Rega Elicit-R?
I don't know the specs of the R9, but the Elicit R puts out 105 watts into 8ohm, 127 watts into 6, 162 into 4.
Unfortunately, it does not have HD bypass, but I heartily agree: go for a good 2-channel amp.
There's an Elicit-R for sale at The Music Room for $1700. I can vouch for it: it used to be my amp. I traded it in at TMR for a preamp.
My old Elicit-R was put in storage when I went into separates; I want it to go to a good home. It was pampered in a smoke-free, kid-free, pet-free home. If I had room, I'd still have it.
No, I'm in no way affiliated with TMR; just want my amp to get the use it deserves.
That's my plug.
But, there are many good 2-channel options out there. Look for those.
