Need recommendation for amplifier

One of my NuForce monoblock amplifiers seems to be irreparable.  I need to get a new amplifier.
 I’m looking in the one to two thousand dollar range, new or used.
Any recommendations for a decent amplifier in that price category?

Once they get fully broken in, you may want to experiment with different/better power cords. At least according to the guys showing these amps at the audio show, the Class D amps just like Class A amps respond to power cords much more than Class AB, but for different reasons. They sounded great at the show, especially the bass response.

I'd be real curious to hear how the Dragons would sound with a top line CJ or a VTL preamp in front of them. It should round the rough edges quite a bit.

John, which Belles amp did you use for the comparisons? I've heard the SA-30 paired with Zu and it was excellent.

"The 350 was a 6 out of ten rating, and the price was suspiciously low."

I'm eyeing that 350 too. That 350 is being auctioned so the low price that you saw was the bidding price and will probably go up by the time its over. What caught my eyes was the seller, its tektondesign !

Tektondesign is the company that builds and sells Tekton speakers so I assumed the owner is selling this along with some speaker cables.
