I think Jimjenr is on to something. I've owned a couple of HK amps, both power amps and integrated and thought they were way better than expected. Just be sure the amp is early 90s or older. Well built and well reviewed amps from this era. Good luck and keep us updated.
Neat cheap amp suggestions . Help me have fun.
I have a system in a spare bedroom and would appreciate some advice on a neat power amp. Budget is less than $200.00. There are the obvious overseas contenders from NAD/Parasound/Adcom/Rotel. But I had hoped to get something a little more off the beaten path. I don't know, Musical Concepts modded Hafler, Sumo, perhaps even something weird. Ultimate power output will not be an issue, but it will need to have a bit of slam and not sound rolled off, a little bright would not be bad. I am just looking to have a bit of fun! Any suggestions? Any thoughts?
