I believe the amp Ralph (atmasphere) was referring to is the Music Reference RM-200. In it’s current Mk.2 form it retails for $7995, and can very occasionally be found used (it’s a keeper!) for around $3000. The original non-Mk.2 version goes for $2000 or so. Nice amp, which Michael Fremer reviewed in Stereophile a few years ago, putting it in it’s Class-A Tube Amp category recommended components list. Heed hansk46's advice regarding input and output impedances---the RM200 is XLR/balanced inputs only, at 30kHz ohms.
Need a new amplifier. Need a good match for my Audio Research LS7 preamp

SS or Tube, New, or used. Looking to tame a little top end brightness, and more clarity at higher volume.
Mostly Classic Rock, Reggae, Singer songwriter stuff, with a smattering of Jazz and Bluegrass. Lots of ground to cover.
Current amp was an Arcam Alpha 10 100wpc.
Looking to spend around $1500.
Saw a used Odyssey Khartago Extreme for under $1k, but don't know much about it, other than needs to be biased to your homes electric output, and had some real good reviews. Sounds a little finicky.
Appreciate your input
