Powerful and strong ss amp at low cost.

I am looking for a used ss amp with 200+ wpc at 8 ohm, which is built like a tank, internally and externally.
Hafler DH500 would be an ideal choice. Which models would be similar to DH500 in its quality, ruggedness, and price?

Try the HCA-2200, or HCA-2200 II. Conservatively rated at 250W/ channel, high current. They come up for sale on 'gon quite often. Or if you really want some serious power and spend a bit more then the HCA-3500, 350W/ channel, 90 lb. beast.

Build quality is outstanding, rugged as hell. Sound quality? A tad hard but it depends on the application. Probably as good as you'll find in your price range.

I will look for some of those suggested -- Aragon, Parasound, Acurus, ... I would not care much about the sound quality since the amp would be mostly for playing background music.
