Music reference RM-10. This is under your budget as a new amp and just got a rave review in Sensible Sound. I use the RM-200 and love it.
Recommendations for tube amp to replace Plinius
I am driving a pair of Legacy Focus speakers with a Plinius 100 mk3. The Focus speakers have an impedance of 4 okms and a sensitivity of 96db. As such the speakers may be a good match for a tube amp. Any recommendations for a tube amp in the $2500.00 used market range? The rest of my system consists of the Placette passive pre-amp and a Cary 306/200 cd.
