I cuurrently have Rogue M150s, PS HCA2, Hafler 9505, and two of the N.E.W 20 Class A amps. All have their strengths and weaknesses of course.
The hafler is great for the money - its main fault is excessive siblants with vocals. The folks at Musical Concepts agree. It can be bright when compareed to other amps I have and have had. At least with some speakers. I`ve never sold the amp though. I`d suggest a home trial of the HCA2. I usually go between the Rogues and the HCA in my system now. The HCA does the lows much much better. It sounds much more powerful than 150 watts per channel. You could be surprised with this amp. If you got the hafler you would probably want to mod it for around $600.00.
