Suggestions for 220v amp

Hello all,

I am spending some time living in belgium and I am hoping to pick up a pair of Maggie 1.6s next month and a nice amp or integrated amp for them. Problem is, of course, the 220v power.

I really like Krell amps and would be getting a 300i/il if I could choose, but as far as I know they don't make a 220v version.

So any suggestions for something like the Krells in the 1500.00 range that comes in a 220v version??

Thanks all,
Nathan

Think of buying the amp in Europe. There are many nice integrateds from British and French companies that should fit your budget and that were built with 220 (actually 230 these days) Volts in mind. Avoid buying US gear in Europe becuase there is a ridiculous markup on any gear that crosses the Atlantic (it goes both ways, BTW). Look at brands like Creek, YBA, etc.
Or go hunt for used gear once you are in Belgium.
